Interview Skills – What are the key skills required for success at interview?

Most people called for interview look like they can do the job on paper. But a CV never landed anyone a job. Interviews are a key part of the equation and this makes strong interview skills essential.

Some key interview skills include

Planning & Organisation – Preparation is the foundation for success at interview. Researching the role, the client and understanding your CV are all key points.

Presenting & Communication Skills – Interviews require the ability to communicate information to the client in a competent manner. I have seen many great communicators flunk at interview. Why? Pressure and lack of preparation.

Persuading & Influencing – The ability to sell yourself is essential. An interview a sales meeting and you are the salesperson. You must back up your responses with hard evidence and ensuring you deal with objections effectively.

Focus – This knits everything together. Concentration during interview is very important. Listen to the questions and offer relevant information that meets interviewee requirements.

Interview Coaching can help enhance your interview skills and lead to better interview results.
