Tips phỏng vấn

2.1 Practice and be prepared

Before the interview, do not forget to review your CV again and practice answering the frequently asked questions to familiarize yourself with the interview process. Also, have a list of questions to ask the employers ready. This will help you to better understand the organization as well as demonstrate your willingness to know more about it.

2.2 Be yourself

It is best to be honest about your skills, strengths, and weaknesses because interviewers may ask you to demonstrate those qualifications in the interview and could question you if anything does not look right . Lies and exaggeration do you no good but leave a bad impression about yourself.

2.3 Focus

Be sure that you pay attention to the interviewers to fully understand the questions, if not, ask for clarification right away. Also, having a pen and a paper to capture all the detailed information which is provided is a plus point.

2.4 Be on time

Even though the interview is conducted online, you are suggested to show up at least 10 minutes before the interview. This gives you time to prepare yourself better. Also, if there are any technical issues , you still can manage to solve them and show up at the interview in time.

We hope that with these tips, your interviewer at STEAM for Vietnam is no longer a challenge anymore!
