Your Projection and Profile at an Interview
July 01, 2005
Contributing writer: Anthony Ranieri
How critical it is today for employers to ensure they can achieve a quality match during the recruitment process when screening a possible candidate. Your projection and profile may be the only thing left standing when applicants of equal ability are key contenders for a job.
Your ability to align with corporate values and mission statements are essential. Companies will want you to be an extension of their corporate profile and you will be measured on your ability to fit that mould.
If you can obtain information on the corporate values of the company you are attending an interview for and can translate that into your profile, then you have a definite edge.
Research the founder of the company and what type of person they are. See if you can obtain articles on the company and write-ups on the CEO. Is the company older, traditional and more conservative or is it a new, vibrant and an entrepreneurial business. So do your homework and get that edge on other candidates.
You will be asked questions at interviews that seek to project your personal, business and professional profiles.Employers are always interested in your profiles as part of trying to establish a key match. For example does your professional profile match the organisational profile and corporate culture?
Here are questions you may encounter that focus on your profiles:
- How would you describe yourself?
- How would people you work with describe you?
- How would your superiors describe you?
- Reliability
- Drive
- Honesty
- Motivation
- Pride
- Communication skills
- Dedication
- Team-player
- Analytical skills
- Energy
- Listening
- Confidence
- Integrity
- Determination
- Efficiency
- Economy
- Procedures
- Profit
