Interviewing Tips:

Tip #1

Practice interviewing with someone whom you are comfortable. Do this as many times as possible before you start interviewing with companies. Many college career services offer mock interviews—take advantage of those opportunities. Learn how to apply your past experiences to the values of Pella Corporation.

Tip #2Prepare a list of questions for the interviewer. This shows that you have an interest in learning more about the company. Never go to an interview without a list of at least three questions prepared.

Tip #3Research the company completely before you interview to familiarize yourself with the company's products, services, markets and the company culture. Great sources of information are the people who have worked for your target company, such as interns or co-ops. Your research will help you prepare for questions asked by the company representative.

Tip #4Many interviewers use a method called behavioral interviewing, which includes questions about past experiences. One such question might be:

"Give an example of a time when you needed to adjust quickly. What did you do and how did it turn out?"

Keep in mind that the interviewer doesn't want to hear your opinion or the way you tend to act; they would like to think of a specific instance. The interviewer will be looking for the following information:

1) A brief description of the problem or situation.

2) Your actions.

3) Results of your actions.

Tip #5Remember, the company representative would like to hire you for their staffing needs. Their challenge is to predict the likelihood of future success between you and their company. If the company representative can be certain that you will be successful in their company, their recruiting challenge is closer to being accomplished. You can assist them in this challenge by being open and honest about your skills, experiences, dislikes and ambitions. The best thing you can do is just be yourself.
