8: The Audition Interview
(by

For some positions, such as computer programmers or
trainers, companies want to see you in action before
they make their decision. For this reason, they
might take you through a simulation or brief
exercise in order to evaluate your skills. An
audition can be enormously useful to you as well,
since it allows you to demonstrate your abilities in
interactive ways that are likely familiar to you.
The simulations and exercises should also give you a
simplified sense of what the job would be like. If
you sense that other candidates have an edge on you
in terms of experience or other qualifications,
requesting an audition can help level the playing
field.
To maximize on auditions, remember to:
- Clearly understand the instructions and
expectations for the exercise. Communication is half
the battle in real life, and you should demonstrate
to the prospective employer that you make the effort
to do things right the first time by minimizing
confusion.
- Treat the situation as if you are a professional
with responsibility for the task laid before you.
Take ownership of your work.
- Brush up on your skills before an interview if
you think they might be tested.
