Presentación a cargo de Elisa García-Morales (Inforárea) en la primera sesión de la Jornada Actualíza-t 2015 (14 de diciembre de 2015, Sala de conferencias de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Documentación de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid)
An interview is the most important aspect for a prospective job applicant.
Well, you have been studying hard all these years to gain the knowledge you desired and now it’s time to showcase your skills to the world. You must have searched hard enough to find the best possible job and one fine day you start getting calls & emails for an interview.
Wow, that’s great! But please pause and ask yourself three important questions.
1. Am I really prepared to face the interview?
2. What will be the questions and how will I answer them?
3. I appeared in an interview, but did not get the offer. Where did I miss?
Following are the 3 key areas required for a successful interview:
1. Communication Skills:
2. Soft-Skills &
3. Self Confidence.
Let’s analyse these points one-by one to understand their importance.
Communication Skills: Communication is an integral part of our daily life. Every one communicates in one way or the other, be it with friends, family, colleagues, seniors or an may be an unknown person. Communication is the process by which we transmit and receive messages. Communication can be either verbal or non-verbal but the outcome should be effective and understood between the person/s involved in the process.
Soft-Skills: Commonly known as Life Skills which includes Leadership skills, critical thinking, problem solving skills, empathy, professional writing, working in a team, public speaking skills and so on. The combination of these skills is the key to success in every profession.
Self-Confidence: Is all about believing in yourself. Setting realistic targets, having defined goals, keeping a positive view about yourself and of course the ability to face criticism as well.
Based on the above, please perform a SAT (Self Analysis Test) to know your SAT-Score and where exactly you stand. The SAT is measured on a 1-10 scale and ideally a SAT score of 7 and above is considered good.
If you’re SAT Score is less than or equal to 6, you need to take professional guidance.
Note:
Take expert guidance on Interview preparations. For additional details & to know your SAT Score, please log on to our tools and resources section.

trainable/dependable?
Is this the best candidate for the
position compared to other
applicants?

opportunities I want for
advancement / experience?
An interview is a two-way exchange, a conversation, in which both participants
have some goals. For you, it is an opportunity to determine if a position is a good fit for
your interests and skills.
5. Why is it important to practice
interview skills?
The majority of companies indicate that interview preparation is the
most glaring issue among recent college graduates.
Lack of preparation is usually sited as the reason most candidates
miss the opportunity to make it to a 2nd interview.
Most college students think, “I’ll just be myself in an interview,” but
miss the key point: FOCUS ON THE ORGANIZATION.
The typical face to face interview lasts about 1 hour; interviewers
can usually tell in the first 5 minutes if you have prepared.
THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT CAN BE FIXED!
Conducting at least one mock interview and spending 1-2 hrs.
researching an organization will greatly increase your chances of
landing your dream job.
6. What specifically can I do to be
better prepared for an interview?
The STAR technique will help you prepare for any behavioral based
interview. Prepare 5 core stories using a storytelling technique using
SPECIFIC examples of:
SITUATIONS - TASKS - ACTIONS – RESULTS
Examples include:
A time you solved a difficult problem
A weakness and how you overcame it
An example of your leadership and mentoring ability
An example of how you work on a team with diverse thinkers
An example of an academic project which shows your interest or ability
Behavioral based interviewing is the top interviewing technique.
8. What are some tips to REALLY stand
out in an interview?
Do more than an hour of research and TAKE NOTES ON THE FOLLOWING ITEMS (to take
with you to the interview in your professional binder):
The history, locations, competitors
Culture, products, challenges, social impact
The specifics of the position and the interview team
At least 5 STAR examples of your work ethic, leadership, academics, work experience, etc.
5-10 intelligent, well-thought-out questions to ask, including, “What are the next steps?”
Follow up!
Send an error free email and written note after the interview
Follow up if it has been two weeks and you’ve heard nothing
Never put all of your eggs in one basket (apply and interview for multiple positions)
Remember, no matter how comfortable you are, this
is a business relationship.
9. Scenario of Behavioral Based
Interviewing
An employer at ABC asks a student being interviewed, “Tell
me an example of a time you have been involved in a
situation where you have had to help improve a process?”
The student is stumped by the question and cannot answer it. No
one told her to prepare for this question!
She starts talking and hopes the answer comes while she is stumbling
through.
She says she cannot think of an example.
10. Scenario - Rank Board Interviews
Citadel Cadet is at a Rank Board Interview. Col. Soandso wants
to know, “What is your definition of an effective leader and what
is the best and worst example of leadership he has experienced
in his time as a cadet?”
S – My junior year as Squad Corporal, our Human Affairs Officer was relieved of duties
because of an honor violation. I was given that responsibility but didn’t really know
what to do.
T – I immediately became responsible for 3 times the number of students I was used to
managing and I had to have a game plan. I did the following….
A – I quickly learned the roles and responsibilities by working with my Company
Commander and the Battalion Human Affairs Officer in daily and weekly meetings.
We discussed issues like….
R – I learned to adjust the way I communicate to be more effective. As a result, we
had a very cohesive company and very few issues as a result of our teamwork.

make eye contact or attempt to
introduce himself to the visitors.
Another student walks in while the staff is
