The interview process provides you with the
opportunity to show that you are the right
fit for the job. The interview gives you
the chance to expand on the information
provided in your resume and to gather
information about the employer and the
position.
The goal of the job interview is to show the
employer that you have the skills,
background, and ability to do the job and
that you can successfully fit into the
organization and its culture. Not only
that, you have to show that you are better
than other candidates. Remember, the job
interview is a communication process. It
involves an exchange of information; it's a
give and take.
Interviewing is not only about substance
however. It?s about chemistry also. After
all, if a person is going to join the
organization, better find someone that will
be enjoyable to work with. This is the
harder and less predictable part of
interviewing. Sometimes you will click with
the interviewer(s), sometimes you won?t. On
a general note, however, be yourself and
show an open mind.

part of the job application process. We
