Application Tips

Are you planning a job interview shortly and would you like this job interview to be as successful as possible? Then read in this article the most important application tips of ex-job seekers they have learned while applying for their dream job and can certainly help you in finding a new job.

Tip 1: Do not answer questions if you do not know the answer

Joost, 35, has recently had a job in the IT sector. "When I had a job interview for a job other than the function I received now, I made a mistake I was sorry for later. I received a very specific question and I did not know the answer but did not want to go by the basket Dropped and gave answer. The answer I gave was okay, but when I got more questions I did not know what to say. When I was in the same situation a couple of weeks later, I said I was honest Answer did not know. Honesty is being rewarded, because now I have a new job!"

Tip 2: Ask yourself critical questions yourself

Anouk (29) is a communications manager. "I have had a wrong picture of the job interview for years, because I did not see it as a conversation, but as a type of exam where you have to give all the right answers. After applying for a few weeks, I found out that an application interview is not an exam at all. It's not just the questions you get, but you should ask yourself to find out if this feature is for you."

Tip 3: You can never predict what questions you get

The main tip of Inge (25) is that you never know what questions you get during the conversation. "When I had a job interview, I assumed that I would ask questions about my strengths, weaknesses, motivation, expectations, etc. When I got other questions, I did not know what to say. What I learned is That you can never predict a job interview."

Tip 4: You do not always have to be the best to get the job

The last tip in this article is Sjors (33), an internet marketer. "I once had a job interview with an extremely difficult assignment. I had no idea what to do and panicked, so I delivered the assignment unfinished. In the interview I honestly assumed that I had not done the job, but Later I was told I had the job. I was apparently very sympathetic in the conversation, making them almost my bad score!"
