3.1. Interview Skills


Interview skills are skills or actions that allow a person to be more effective
throughout the interview process for a new position. Not all interview skills are
conventional; rather, many interview skills help candidates prepare for the
interview and guide them as they participate in job interviews. Acing job
interviews requires in-depth preparation as well as the ability to feel comfortable
and confident when discussing your skills, experience and qualifications with
hiring managers.

3.1.1. What are interviewing skills?

Interviewing skills are your ability to interact with the employer or interviewer and
show them why you are the best-fit candidate for the job role. Your interview
skills give an interviewer insight into how you will communicate in the workplace
and solve problems. It also shows if you can actively listen and be honest in your
work. All these factors tell your potential employers how well you will fit in their
work environment.

During your interview, the employer may pay attention to your answers and the
non-verbal cues you use while answering questions. For example, if you tap
your foot while talking, it may show that you are nervous. So, this skill set helps
you highlight the best features that can differentiate you from other candidates
with similar qualifications and work experience.

3.1.2. Why are interviewing skills important?

Interview skills are important because they give your potential employer
confidence that you can perform the job duties and accomplish your daily goals.
Additionally, the skills you showcase during your interview help an employer
determine and validate if your qualifications, experience and personality meet
their requirements. For example, an employer may prefer interview skills like
excellent verbal communication and confidence
when hiring for a customer service representative role, as the job role requires a
candidate to communicate confidently with their customers.

3.1.3. What is the most important skill for an interview?

The most important skill for an interview is verbal communication because it helps
you convey valuable information about your education, abilities and experience
to a potential employer. Excellent verbal communication skills can help you
deliver a well-thought-out answer that can increase your chances of getting
hired.

3.1.4. Examples of interview skills

An interview provides you with an opportunity to show the interviewer the soft
skills you have that will make you a valuable asset to their company. Here are a
few examples of skills you can use during an interview:

1. Research capabilities :- Good research capabilities help you perform well in


an interview. For instance, you can read and analyze the job description
and customize your resume based on that research. You should also do
your research on the company you are interviewing for. That way, when the
interviewer asks you questions like "Why do you want to work for this
company?", you will be able to provide an informed answer that shows the
employer you are the best-fit candidate for their organization and its
culture.

2. Interview questions preparation:- Some basic interview questions are


fundamental to almost every job role. It is always a good idea to practise
such questions before facing your potential employers. Preparing
beforehand for questions like "Tell me about yourself", "Why should we
hire you?", "What are your greatest weaknesses?" or "Do you have any
questions?" is an important interview skill, as it shows your attitude and
seriousness about the job role. If you are applying for a technical role,
make a list of commonly asked technical questions for that job role and
practise them. The more you practise, the better answers you can
provide during the interview.
3. Verbal communication :- During an interview, employers may pay close
attention to your tone and pitch. They want to see if you can communicate
your ideas clearly and cohesively. Talking too fast can make you look
anxious. It also prevents you from conveying your message clearly. The
ability to speak calmly to make sure that others can understand you is a
skill that you can develop through practice.
4. Non-verbal communication :- From the moment you walk into the
interview room, employers will pay close attention to the non-verbal
cues you portray. Non-verbal communication includes body language,
posture, gestures, facial expression and eye contact. For example, if
you sit with crossed legs or arms during the interview, it shows that
you are nervous and anxious. Being able to maintain eye contact and
have a smile on your face is important in order to succeed in an
interview.

5. Time management :- Time-management skills are important because they


show that you can plan, prepare and organize your time. You should reach
the interview venue at least 10 to 15 minutes ahead of time and keep track
of the time you spend answering each question. Also, before coming for
the interview, plan your mode and route of travel to be punctual. It is
always good to keep some buffer time in case you encounter heavy traffic
or a flat tyre.

6. Confidence :- Self-confidence is the ability to stay confident in your skills


and abilities. This is an essential skill because it shows that you have trust in
yourself. To showcase a confident attitude during the interview, control your
fidgeting, greet the employer with a handshake, talk slowly and maintain eye
contact. Also, when you answer the interview questions confidently during an
interview, it helps make the interviewer feel more confident about your skills,
experience and knowledge.

7. Active listening :- Active listening is as important as answering the job


interview questions. If you listen properly to the employer's question, you will
be able to
understand what exactly they are looking for and craft your answers
accordingly. It also shows that you are engaged and serious about the job
role. For example, when an employer asks you, "Do you have any
questions?" instead of asking generic questions, ask questions based on
your conversation with the employer. This can increase your chances of
getting hired.
8. Positive attitude :- Having a positive attitude during an interview can
influence the hiring decision in your favor. For example, when asked about
why you left your previous job, saying negative things about your previous
employers is not a good way to answer such questions. So, focus on
giving optimistic reasons for leaving a previous job. You can also show
your positive attitude using active verbs and positive connotations to
present your qualifications favorably to the employers.

9. Politeness :- Being polite is another critical interview skill. Apart from the
employer, you are likely to meet several company employees during the
interview process. For example, you may interact with the receptionist, so
greet and talk to them politely. Also, if a human resources professional
escorts you to the interview room, remember to thank them. It is
imperative to be friendly and polite to everyone, as it shows how well you
can fit in the organization and work with others.

10. Honesty :- One skill that makes you a desirable candidate for a job role is
honesty. To show your honesty during the interview process, make sure
that all the information you provide about yourself is correct. As most
employers perform a background check on their new hires, there is no
point in exaggerating about your experience, skills and qualifications.
