Interview tips for bpo
In this file, you can ref interview tips for bpo with interview
questions & answers, other interview tips for bpo materials such
as: interview thank you letters, types of interview questions….
1. Conduct Research on the Employer, Hiring Manager, Job
Opportunity.
Success in a job interview starts with a
solid foundation of knowledge on the job-
seeker's part. You should understand the
employer, the requirements of the job,
and the background of the person (or
people) interviewing you. The more
research you conduct, the more you'll
understand the employer, and the better
you'll be able to answer interview
questions.
2. Review Common Interview Questions and Prepare
Responses.
Another key to interview success is preparing
responses to expected interview questions. First,
inquire as to the type of interview to expect
(which you can do by asking your contact person
at the organization). Your goal is composing
detailed yet concise responses, focusing on
specific examples and accomplishments. A good
tool for remembering your responses is to put
them into story form that you can tell in the
interview. No need to memorize responses (in
fact, it's best not to), but at least develop talking
points.
3. Arrive on Time for the Interview -- and Prepared for Success
There is no excuse for ever arriving late for an
interview -- other than some sort of disaster. Strive
to arrive about 15 minutes before your scheduled
interview to complete additional paperwork and
allow yourself time to get settled. Arriving a bit
early is also a chance to observe the dynamics of
the workplace.
The day before the interview, pack up extra copies
of your resume or CV and reference list. If you
have a portfolio or samples of your work, bring
those along too. Finally, remember to pack several
pens and a pad of paper to jot notes.
Finally, as you get to the offices, shut off your cell
phone. (And if you were chewing gum, get rid of
it.)
4. Make Good First Impressions -- to Everyone You Encounter
A cardinal rule of interviewing: Be polite and offer
warm greetings to everyone you meet -- from parking
attendant or receptionist to the hiring manager.
Employers often are curious how job applicants treat
staff members -- and your job offer could easily be
derailed if you're rude or arrogant to any of the staff.
When it's time for the interview, keep in mind that first
impressions -- the ones interviewers make in the first
few seconds of greeting you -- can make or break an
interview. Make a strong first impression by dressing
well (see #3), arriving early (see #4), and when
greeting your interviewer, stand, smile, make eye
contact, and offer a firm (neither limp and nor bone-
crushing) handshake.
Remember that having a positive attitude and
expressing enthusiasm for the job and employer are
vital in the initial stages of the interview; studies show
that hiring managers make critical decisions about job
applicants in the first 20 minutes of the interview.
5. Remember Body Language, Avoiding Bad Habits
While the content of your interview responses is
paramount, poor body language can be a distraction at
best -- or a reason not to hire you at worst.
Effective forms of body language: smiling, eye contact,
solid posture, active listening, nodding.
Detrimental forms of body language: slouching, looking
off in the distance, playing with pen, fidgeting in chair,
brushing back hair, touching face, chewing gum,
mumbling.
6. Ask Insightful Questions
Studies continually show that employers make a
judgment about an applicant's interest in the job by
whether or not the interviewee asks questions.
Thus, even if the hiring manager was thorough in
his or her discussions about the job opening and
what is expected, you must ask a few questions.
The smart job-seeker prepares questions to ask
days before the interview, adding any additional
queries that might arise from the interview.
7. Thank Interviewer(s) in Person, by Email, and Postal Mail
As you have already seen from previous
tips, common courtesy and politeness go
far in interviewing; thus, the importance
of thanking each person who interviews
you should come as no surprise. Start the
process while at the interview, thanking
each person who interviewed you.
Writing thank-you emails and notes
shortly after the interview will not get you
the job offer, but doing so will certainly
give you an edge over any of the other
finalists who did not bother to send
thank-you's.
