3 Interview Skills You Absolutely Need

1. Listen
Listen Listen Listen.
Listening is not just hearing. You have to listen for the tone the implied meaning and in some cases even the expected answer.
Many times in interviews I conduct I have to stop the candidate and tell him again what is it that I asked.
For e.g. tell me about yourself is a simple enough thing to do and yet I see interviewees answering this by talking about the parents professions the siblings education or even about their alma mater.

Listen.

2. Know
Can knowing be quantified as a skill? I think so.
What do you need to know?
The company the hotel/unit the interviewer the kind of questions asked the secretarys name the designation you applied for your expectations the list is long.
I have been shocked by people asking me my name after the interview.

Know.

3. Communicate
You think its simple dont you? I wish it was.
I ask people what they are looking for and they tell me an opportunity. So I ask them what is the salary they are looking for and they say anything. So I offer a job but no salary and suddenly they start saying no no sir that is not what I meant. If you dont mean that dont say it.
Communicate your candidature.
Communicate your strengths
Communicate your expertise
Communicate your willingness your enthusiasm and
Communicate your expectations

Communicate

Cheers!
