During the interview, applicants are advised to be on time, make a good first impression, ask their own questions, and follow up after the interview.

Learning Objective: Examine and practice the skillset of delivering a great interview
Job interviews are stressful enough without having to establish a positive and professional self-representation during the interview process. Recruiters are looking for the ideal candidate while you are trying to come across as friendly and trustworthy while explaining how you’re the perfect candidate, so practice makes perfect.

Along with the answers and swagger to pull it off, we will give you the opportunity to perfect your skills before your interview. This session will begin with the knowledge of how to impress recruiters, while the second half will pull it all together in the practice mock interview sessions. Remember, practice makes perfect. You will have the opportunity to sit face to face with professional interviewers in order to prepare effectively for your real interviews.
At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to answer these questions:
a. What are the common interview questions and how do I prepare my answers?
b. What information do I need to know for every interview?
c. How do I answer difficult questions?
d. What are good questions to ask my interviewer?
e. How do I answer “So tell me about yourself’?
f. What do I do after the interview?
g. What are common interview mistakes?
h. What does my body language say about me?
i. What information do I need to know before I have my interview?
j. How can I ace my interview from beginning to end?
k. What can I do after the interview to gain an edge on the competition?

• Answer more than "yes" or "no", justify and give concrete examples
• Be prepared to answer in a foreign language as well

progresses
• It is always possible to return to a question that went badly - at the latest at the end of the
interview
• Finally, it's good to say thank you and even express your motivation in some way
• A handshake
During the interview
21. • Tell us a little about yourself.
• Tell me how you survived a problem situation/failure.
• Which is more important to you, goals or rules?
• What is your greatest achievement?
• Do you usually read work-related emails or other messages in your spare time?
• Mention two of your areas of development.

Examples of job interview questions
22. The employer may not ask the applicant certain things during a job interview. According
to the law on the protection of privacy, the employer may only ask for and process the
employee's personal data that is immediately necessary for the employment
relationship.
Questions that cannot be asked in principle are:
• Do you have children/ Are you planning to have children?
• What is your marital status?
• Have you completed military or civilian service?
• Do you have a serious illness?
• What religion do you represent?
• Are you politically active/ Are you a member of a party?
• Are you a member of a trade union?
• What kind of ownership, business and/or business relationships does your family have?
Illegal interview questions
23. • Can you tell me about the team I’ll be working with?
• What can you tell me about the job apart from what was in the
description?
• What are the most immediate projects that need to be addressed?
• Is this a new position? Where is the person who held this job
moving on to?
• What are the current goals that the company is focused on, and
how does this team work to support hitting those goals?
• What are the next steps in the interview / hiring process?
Questions to ask from an interviewer
24. • Ensure the technology: lights, image and sound quality,
equipment, calm and neutral space, viewing angle
• Ask technology-related questions when you receive an
interview invitation (link, program, etc.)
• Use notes! Maybe some key words in Finnish?
• The idea of a remote interview?
Video interview (remote interview)
26. • A thank you message?
• Go through the course of the interview in your mind - it will help you in future interviews
• If you don't hear anything from the employer, you can get in touch in a couple of weeks (unless
another deadline has already been given)
• If you are selected, you can still consider whether to accept the position and negotiate the terms
(e.g. salary)
• If you are not selected, there can be many reasons; the fault is not necessarily with you or the
success of the interview
• Sometimes the second or third place also gets a job
• Ask for feedback
After the job interview
27. • As part of the job search process, an aptitude test or examination may
be carried out
• The testing aims to find out how the applicant and the job being applied
to fit together
• The tester gives a summary of the test results to the employer
• Jobseekers always have the right to receive the same feedback or
summary of their own results
• The results should be asked afterwards directly from the evaluator
• Self-knowledge increases and you get valuable information for future
interviews and tests.
Aptitude tests, personal assesments
28. • The employer is simply looking for an answer to the question: Why would this
particular applicant be the most suitable for the job?
• Think about what you want the interviewers to know about you anyway (related to the
job)
• It is always possible to return to a question that went badly - at the end of the interview
at the latest
• Learn to know your own manners so you can stop focusing on them
• Interviewers (usually) want you to succeed
• Preparation is the key to success in an interview!
• Being a little bit nervous is normal, almost mandatory
