| YOUR PROJECTION AND PROFILE AT AN
INTERVIEW
By Anthony Ranieri
====================================
How critical it is today for employers to ensure they can
achieve a quality match during the recruitment process when
screening a possible candidate. Your projection and profile
may be the only thing left standing when applicants of equal
ability are key contenders for a job.
Your ability to align with corporate values and mission
statements are essential. Companies will want you to be
an extension of their corporate profile and you will be
measured on your ability to fit that mould.
If you can obtain information on the corporate values of
the company you are attending an interview for and can
translate that into your profile, then you have a definite
edge.
Research the founder of the company and what type of
person they are. See if you can obtain articles on the
company and write-ups on the CEO. Is the company older,
traditional and more conservative or is it a new, vibrant
and an entrepreneurial business. So do your homework and
get that edge on other candidates.
You will be asked questions at interviews that seek to
project your personal, business and professional profiles.
Employers are always interested in your profiles as part
of trying to establish a key match. For example does your
professional profile match the organisational profile and
corporate culture?
Here are questions you may encounter that focus on your
profiles:
* How would you describe yourself?
* How would people you work with describe you?
* How would your superiors describe you?
During the interview process, try wherever practicable to
reflect on your personal and professional profiles in
your responses to interview questions. Here are some
examples of personal profiles you should apply at the
interview:
* Reliability
* Drive
* Honesty
* Motivation
* Pride
* Communication skills
* Dedication
* Team-player
* Analytical skills
* Energy
* Listening
* Confidence
* Integrity
* Determination
During the interview, it's good practice to add to your
personal and professional profile by reflecting on your
business profile. Build your business profile into your
answer where practicable. here are some examples of business
profiles you should project:
* Efficiency
* Economy
* Procedures
* Profit
