Employers don't really care about you
While you"re getting ready for the interview, a lot of questions are popping out of your head:*Do I look good?
*Will I have a good impression?
*Can I answer their questions correctly?
*Are they gonna like me?
*Do I have enough experience?
*How big will be their job offer?
*Is my salary gonna be better than my previous job?
*How do I negotiate my desired salary? If you"re going to take a good look at the questions, you"ll see that everything is all about you! Yes, you think about yourself and you care about yourself more than your potential employer.
It is natural for a person to think and fend for themselves. But for theŇ employer"s perspective, this does not look good at all. This means that you need to shift your focus- to the employer.
*What do they need?
*What do they want from their employees?
*What are their current company problem? Manpower, management, process?
*What are their primary concerns?
*How can I be an asset to their company? Here"s a sample situation: an interviewer asks the applicant "Why do you want to work for our company?". Your honest, and uppermost answer would be "I want to have a big salary". Even though you answered truthfully and honestly, the outcome of the interview would be a total disaster because that is NOT what the employer wants to hear.
So, what DO they want to hear?
They want to hear the answers to their problems. They want to know how you are going to be an asset to their company. They want to know how you are going to help your potential boss look good.
By forcing yourself to focus on the needs of the employers, you can increase your chance of getting the job. By doing so, you will be less nervous and less afraid during the interview. Look at yourself as an actor who is trying to overcome stage fright. Actors learn to overcome their fears by focusing on their audience rather than themselves. Think more about your audience (the interviewer), and that stage fright will be just a walk in the park.
