Listening in the Interview

When you walk in the door of the interviewer's office (even if it is an office used just for interviewing purposes), start paying attention. Look for clues to give you little pieces of information about the interviewer and the company. If you have done your homework and researched the company prior to the interview, this information will supplement your knowledge and give you an even broader base of understanding about the corporation, its climate and the expectations for employees.

The first few minutes of the interview will likely entail some general information about the organization and the position you are interviewing for. Listen carefully. You will hear more clues - hot buttons, sometimes - and can use them in your answers later in the interview.

The interviewer will provide you with very useful information. Use it to your advantage. If the department needs a fresh approach, you need to speak to that. If the position you are seeking is part of a team, relate how well you have worked as a team member in the past. If the area you'd be working in struggles with deadlines, offer quantifiable statements of your ability to meet deadlines in the past.

When you are able to fill the employers needs you will be the one to get the job offer. Some candidates listen better than others. If you listen, you will learn a lot about what you need to respond to later in the interview.

Look and listen - keys to your success.
