After applying for a job advertised on Joobleyou have been contacted by the company's recruiter and you have taken a personality test such as 5 Facteurs Pro. Finally you receive a call for a job interview.

Entretien de recrutement

With your stomach in knots, your feet "tapping" uncontrollably and a few cold sweats, you go through about a million scenarios about how your next interview will go. It can be said that job interviews are extremely nerve-racking. But they don't have to be that stressful, and a little preparation can make a big difference. Make your next interview a success and find the job you are looking for with these tips some easy tips.

  1. Research the company you are interviewing - nothing is worse than going into a recruitment interview without understanding their vision and objectives and being able to explain how you will contribute to achieving that vision.

    2. Research the company's values and/or what it seeks to convey as an image and be prepared to share concrete examples from your experience by which you can demonstrate to the recruiter that you share these values.

    3. Demonstrate good knowledge and, above all, passion for the job you are applying for.

    4. If you have listed skills, behaviours or personal attributes in your CV, be prepared to present examples of situations where you have demonstrated these qualities.

    5. Be curious about the company and/or the position you are being offered, have a list of questions that show your curiosity.

    Avoid "flowery language", no slang, verlan and have good manners.

    7. Take care of your presentation: hair, make-up, clothes (clean and ironed) must all match the company's culture and style.

    And if, despite all this, you did not get the job you were applying for, what should you do?

    The attitude you adopt after receiving a rejection letter will prepare you for an upward or downward spiral in your job search.

    Remember that the market is full of candidates as talented and ambitious as you are and the fact that you didn't get the job doesn't make them better than you are.

    Try to write down the answers you gave to the questions you think you were not very good at and note how you can improve.

    The experience gained in each interview is the best training you can receive for the next interview." Take notes on each interview and use these notes to develop your skills for the next interview.
