This is the morale that I got from job interview
June 20, 2014
Finally, I got that
phone call. When it is related to my application, you should notice this as a
happy news. Yep, of course. They did call me for an interview.
Here I start to
narrate my own story of the beginning of this new experience. I'd rather say,
getting called for interview is not my first time, but this time it was totally
different. It's my real full-time job going-to-be that I'll achieve in the time
being (hopefully).
Honestly, I didn't
put any expectation on Best Western. Not that it's a big company or else, but I
started to expect any ordinary possibility. But at least, I have to appreciate
that chance.
From that moment, I
started learning that first impression is absolutely a huge deal. They will
judge you wholly from the very first way they throw a look at you. The
appearance, ability, speech, manner, the way you show yourself to them. In
other words, it's easy to say this like you're selling yourself by promoting
what's best in you. To be sure, not all of people would be aware of that.
Next, confidence is
all that you need. Believe me or not, it does work. Put a proud smile on your
face, show them that you are the best candidate they'd ever choose. For the
first time, it might sound cocky and unbelievable, but give it a try and you'll
see the difference.
For the matter of
physical appearance, you don't have to worry if you don't have a-miss-pageant
thing on your body. It's not a beauty contest, why should that bother you? Yet,
there's a big BUT for this. You have to make sure that you put a big effort to
look best, dress properly and do standard grooming to look neat and fresh.
That's the point I guess.
And for the rest,
any company would tend to give any questions as much as needed, try to be
honest answering those and I suggest you not to boast anything about yourself,
just put it in a reasonable description.
But wait, I strongly
recommend you to be a flexible personality. Bear it in your mind that they are
the one that hiring you, you can't just set any irrational thing like you are
the one that hold the control.
Be prepared for this, everyone.
Best of luck.
