CAREER EDUCATION. Factors that could decide whether to get the job

Factor 1. The first impression. There is a saying that you don't get a second chance to make a first impression. This is especially true in an interview.
Most interviewers make up their minds in the first five seconds as if you are right for your business or not. If they like what they see, statistics show six 80% of the way to get the job.
Factor 2. A smile.
Smile of course to all who meet when you arrive at the Office. I'm not going to go into clothes, as common sense prevails with that issue. My only advice is to not wear flashy jewellery, overpowering perfume or aftershave or anything else that distracts the interviewer by focusing on you.
Factor 3. Your mindset.
The interview is part of an attempt to solve the needs of your potential employer, wants and desires. At this time are not part of their solution. The only way to become part of their solution is to understand their needs or problems. To do this you need to ask questions about how you can help to solve the problems of the potential employer.
For example, a great application that gets the focus in the right direction is "what you want to happen with this position?"
Asking an employer, as a result, or what they want to happen from this work completely turns the interview. An interviewer or employer will begin to say what they want. Now you can give them examples from your past (your resume) that demonstrate that you can deliver the results the employer is seeking.
Now instead of talking about your past, you can now talk about your potential.
Factor 4. Understanding the mind of the employer.
Understand the purpose and the reasoning behind the questions and areas under discussion. To illustrate the power of this, let me make a sticky question: "why did leave your last job?" It is a commonly asked question and never fails to put off-balance respondents. But once you understand the reasoning behind the question, suddenly it's a doddle to answer.
Because they ask? Because they want to be sure that you do the same thing to them a few weeks after you take. Once you understand this, the issue becomes much easier to answer isn't it? My all-time favorite answer to this question would be: "I didn't want to? but I've seen this advertised position and is the work I've always wanted to! "
Factor 5. Know what fear interviewers.
Interviewers are human beings and as such are the victims of the FUD factor: "fear, uncertainty and doubt." The kind of things they're afraid of include:
Will not be able to do the job
What you said in your application may not be totally correct
It will cost them a lot of money if they hire the wrong person
And so on.
Know how to deal with common fears that all interviewers? and basically you will be able to name your salary.
