Job Interview

Words

Before Interview

The following Strategies are effective ways to prepare for a job interview:

  1. Review the job description
  2. Practice describing your skills and experiences
  3. Review your resume
Build rapport with interviewers

與面試官保持融洽關係

Prepare for the introductory call

It’s important to showcase your best self in the introductory phone call. In this conversation, you’ll talk with the recruiter or hiring manager about yourself, the kind of work or training you have, and why you want the job. You might also be asked specifically about your salary requirements. For this question, it’s a good idea to prepare in advance and conduct an internet search for “average salary for entry-level security analysts.”

During Interview

Anser Open-Ended Questions

STAR: An interview technique used to answer behavioral and situational questions 用來回答行為和情境問題的面試技巧

Answer open-ended (開放式) interview questions with STAR method:

Tip #1

If an interviewer asks you to discuss a skill that you don't have, it's okay to admit you haven't learned it yet. However, the trick is to confidently mention that while you don't have that particular skill, you're a quick learner and eager to develop that skill.

Tip #2

Taking the time to fully understand a problem or question to provide the best solution or answer possible. When interviewing, don't be afraid to ask the interviewer for a moment to think about your answer. It shows that you're willing to take the time needed to understand the question and provide a response that is meaningful and relevant.
Ask Questions

During the second half of an interview, the interviewer will ask if you have any questions for them. It's important to have some questions prepared to ask at this point.

Panel Interview (小組面試)

During the panel interview, you’ll meet with two or more people and discuss yourself and your ability to contribute to the organization. If you’re nervous about this, remind yourself that the team brought you in for the interview for a reason. When you feel confident in your abilities, you’re better able to showcase your knowledge about the security industry and demonstrate your ability to work well with a team.

Be sure to engage with each panelist by giving them your full attention during the interview. Maintaining eye contact can help you express confidence, but for those who cannot do so, actively engaging with each panelist in your own way is just as important. 在面試過程中，請務必與每位面試官都有接觸。保持眼神接觸可以幫助您表達自信，但對於無法做到這一點的人來說，以自己的方式積極地與每位面試官接觸也同樣重要。

It’s likely that each panelist will ask you at least one question during the interview. It’s okay to address the whole panel when answering a question, rather than only directing your response to the person who asked the question. 在面試過程中，每位小組成員很可能至少會問您一個問題。在回答問題時，可以針對整個面試小組，而不是只針對提問的人。

After Interview

Follow-up Email

It's nice to send a follow-up email a day or two after your in-person interview. It's also a good idea to mention something specific from your interview in this email. It shows that you were actively engaged in the conversation.

One week after the Interview:

Hello [Recruiter’s Name],
I hope you’re doing well. It’s been a few weeks since my interview for the [Job Position], and I wanted to check in on the status of my application.
Please feel free to contact me at your convenience, as I’m excited to hear from you.

Thank you,
[Your Name]

Four days later:

Hello [Recruiter’s Name],
I hope I’m not bothering you. I interviewed for the [Job Position] a few weeks ago and wanted to follow up again on my application status. I would really appreciate an update when you get the chance, as I’m still very interested in the role.

Thank you,
[Your Name]

Final Follow-up:

Hello [Recruiter’s Name],
It’s been a few weeks since my interview for the [Job Position], and I haven’t received an update. If I don’t hear back soon, I will continue exploring other opportunities. However, I’m still very interested in joining your team, so if I’m not a fit for this role, I’d appreciate being considered for future openings.

Thank you,
[Your Name]
Final offer

After the company extends their initial offer, you’ll need to decide whether or not to accept it or negotiate for a higher salary or other benefits. Feel free to ask for a day or two to make your decision 在公司提出初步工作條件後，您需要決定是否接受，或是與公司協商更高的薪資或其他福利。請隨時要求一兩天的時間來做決定。
