Interviewing

Interviewing

Interviewing is the last step of the hiring process and the most important. Interviewing serve two purposes. For the prospective employer the interview is an opportunity to gather information about a candidate and to assess the “fit” between the candidate and the position. For you – the candidate – the interview is an opportunity to highlight your skills, 能力, 个人品质, and enthusiasm for the position. 另外, this is also your opportunity to interview the prospective employer and assess if the “fit” is a good one for you.

Interviewing Resources

The difference between a successful interview and an unsuccessful interview often lies simply in your preparation beforehand. Just like most things in life the more you prepare and practice the more likely you are to achieve your desired results.
