Interview Tips

Apply for the right ads, push your limits!
We are trying to develop in a field we have chosen and we take care to apply for the appropriate postings. However, when we examine the postings, we see that too many competencies/requirements are requested. Some may even exaggerate and go beyond the relevant task. Here, the employer naturally wants to hire the best staff it can get.Of course, we try to find the best workplace.

If you think you meet more than 70% of the required features and the basic requirements, never hesitate to apply.
Because no posting will match your competencies exactly.

If you apply for jobs that are lower or equivalent to your qualifications, the further process may affect your career more negatively.

Choose the right interview time
Don’t be in a rush to attend the interview. Check your calendar.
Choose the most appropriate interview date by putting the option time to make up for your deficiencies, if any, until the interview.

Prepare well for interviews, everyone’s time is precious
Before participating in the interview, be sure to complete your preparations with the subject. Because, for both parties, there is one of the most precious things in our lives, time reserved for each other.
The interview you attend casually or unprepared will waste time for you and the other party. It will also cause unnecessary morale upset.

Choose the phrases that best describe yourself
Identify short and concise statements that will highlight your strengths.
Especially for that role, talking about your features that you think the other party will take into account will make you stand out.

Why did you choose this place or why me?
If you applied, make sure you have one or two solid arguments about why you are applying here. This will give the other party the feeling that you are really interested in the place and that you are doing research.

If you have received an offer, you can ask the same question this time. Find out why they brought you this offer.

If you don’t know, say you don’t know
Express that you don’t know clearly about the things you don’t know as well as you are clear about the things you know.This will help the other party to make more accurate decisions about you.

It will also change the form of the questions to come in the following chapters. This can be very embarrassing if it turns out you don’t know.

State your expectations clearly
An interview is like a mutual bargain. In the end, if both parties agree, the process proceeds. Therefore, express your expectations and wishes clearly. Don’t worry about what they’re thinking!

The other party lists their expectations while publishing the job posting.
You should convey your wishes and expectations to the other party so that there are no problems in the following processes.

Do not forget to thank you for this valuable meeting.
