To help you land that dream role in Al Ansari Exchange, given below are handy tips you can do to excel an interview

  • Research the company.
  • Dress to impress but stay professional. Dress in a manner appropriate to the job and come well-groomed to your interview.
  • Be on time.
  • Know your resume.
  • Practice good nonverbal communication. It’s about demonstrating confidence—stand straight, make eye contact, and if applicable, offer a firm handshake. That first nonverbal impression can make or break your chance of getting that job offer.
  • Listen carefully to the interviewer, as he or she might be giving you information, either directly or indirectly, about what he or she is looking for. If you are not hearing it, you might miss a major opportunity. Be sure you understand the question so you can respond appropriately. If not, ask for clarification or restate the question in your own words. Answer concisely and stick to the question. 
  • Have some industry- or role-specific questions of your own prepared in advance. Part of knowing how to interview is being ready to ask questions that demonstrate your interest in the role or in the company.
  • Close the interview on a positive, enthusiastic note. Ask what the next step will be. Thank the interviewer for his or her time and express your interest in the job. Leave courteously with a handshake and a smile.
  • Bonus tip: You know you can do the job, but it’s up to you to make sure the interviewer believes you can. One way to do this is by preparing well-thought-out answers to questions recruiters are most likely to ask. From ice-breakers like "Tell me about yourself" to the nitty-gritty of "What’s your biggest weakness?" prepare well-crafted answers that highlight your skill set and how keen you are for the job.
