Personal Interview Coach Psychometric Profile

The Right "Style" For The Job

By the time you arrive for an interview, your potential employer is probably familiar with most of your qualifications - such as your educational background, professional training and work experience. This information is usually in your job application or resumT.

So why interview? One important reason is that the interviewer wants to know if your personal style will be a good fit for the position and for the company. Your style can affect the way you approach tasks as well as the way in which you approach others, both of which are important parts of nearly every job. Experience shows that people with certain personal styles tend to perform better, have greater satisfaction and stay longer in pref erred work environments. Therefore, understanding your personal style and knowing how to present yourself will give you an edge in the interviewing process.

Understanding your personal style to prepare for interviews is not an attempt to appear to be somebody that you are not. Rather, knowing yourself better will allow you to present your strengths with confidence and relate them directly to the position you are seeking. You will also be better prepared to ask the right questions to discover the personal style a manager is looking for - and explain why you are the best fit for the job!

Remember - We should never allow ourselves to be limited by the preconceived notions of others.
