Job Interview Practice

There is a lot of time and effort sunk into preparing properly for a job interview. This interview prep is vital, but can be undone if you perform poorly at interview...

Don't take the risk, rather than making mistakes on your big day, use a job interview practice or job rehearsal as your testing ground prior to interview.

STOP! before looking at good job interview practice, can I ask if you've done your interview research and interview prep work?

Interviewing success is dependent on you demonstrating your interest in the role your applying for, and by researching your target's market, competitors, the team, and the specific role, you have the ammo to show them your commitment!

I've written a free interviewing answers eGuide that covers all of the job interviewing process, and includes the skills and personality traits that employers value highest, and how to align yourself with them, how to build your interview answers, the question you should be asking, and much more. I would suggest having a skim through it at the very least - it's FREE by the way!

Interview Preparation should also include the types of interview, interview questions, and how you should answer and ask your own questions.


Your job interview preparation needs to prepare you for group interviews, panel interviews, competency and behavioural based interviews, and the different type of questions that may be asked.

The free guide covers building great interviewing answers using the star method, this is a great under the radar technique that interviewers love!

Wow!

Well done if you've done all this interview prep, your well ahead of the majority of job seekers, and you've only a little way to go...

All this hard work will be turned to gold, with just a little job interview practice.

Job interview practice isn’t easy, as it’s nigh on impossible to do yourself.

So you’re likely to need to draft in a friend, relative or colleague to help you. If the role is valuable enough you can also go to a pro interviewer, who for a fee will put you through your interview paces, and coach you to a better performance.

This can be a prohibitive cost, so asking a favour from a friend, family member or colleague, is an affordable job interview practice option.

Our free guide includes details on all the categories of interview questions you may face, and the Internet has many lists of commonly asked interview questions, that you can give your helper to test you with.

You should also blend in some specific technical questions, and by technical I mean your key technical skills if you’re an account, lawyer, doctor, project manager, there will be skills associated with the profession and associated qualifications that you will need to know about.

By running through this form of practice interview, you’ll be able to practice you’re prepared answers, and see how they play out in an interview rehearsal situation. Though the pressure won’t be the same this will enable you to flush out problem areas, and fine tune your interview technique.

The flip side of this type of interview prep is that it will also really help build your confidence.

A great interview tip is to practice your answers out load. The reason being you should try and use your natural language and words that your comfortable with. Your not trying to deliver an answer like a favorite TV star; it will score higher with the interviewer if it's true to yourself.

I would also suggest using visualization, all top athletes use visualization as part of their training routines, and though this may sound a little airy-fairy this stuff really works in building clarity and confidence.


There are many scientific studies that conclude that visualization boosts confidence and with it performance. So simply relax, close your eyes and run a daydreaming like film of how you want your interview to go. Take your time and see yourself enjoying the interview and getting on great with your interviewer, gliding through the toughest of questions.

I know visualization may seem a bit strange but trust me; it’s a great form on job interview practice.

There is now also an interactive on-line job interview practice service that is designed around specific jobs, and is a fantastic option if you’d prefer to do your interview practice on your own.
