How to Land Your Dream Job in Interior Painting: Part 2 - Interview Strategies

We previously discussed the secrets to getting hired in the first part of this article and today we are going to be covering the subject of interview strategies you can use to get the painting job that you want.

When you start and interview and you are not well prepared for it, it comes across to the person interviewing you pretty quickly and all the skills you may want to bring to the company will not help you as much as knowing how to interview well.

Let's have a look at some interview strategies for when you want to land your dream job in interior painting.

1. Research The Company

The first thing you're going to want to do when you are looking to go to a job interview is to make sure that you properly research the company for which you hope to work.

You can additionally look into the person or people who are going to be interviewing you -- the more you know about them, the better off you will be when interviewing.

By doing all of this, your interviewer will be well aware of the fact that you are not just looking for any job but that you took the time to research their company and care about what they do.

2. Practice Common Interview Questions

There are certain interview questions that you will find yourself encountering at just about every job interview you get, and if your reaction to hearing that kind of question is to look as though you're a deer in headlights, you can rest assured that your interviewer will take notice and not appreciate it.

Researching the questions that are asked the most during job interviewers and being prepared for these questions will ensure that you know how to best form answers to them.

These questions and more are going to be covered in an article exclusively on the subject of those kinds of questions and how you can best reply to them.

3. Early Is Better Than On Time

There is a saying that when you are on time, you are late, and when you are late, you are being rude -- and that only by being early you are doing the correct thing.

This is certainly the case when you are interviewing for an interior painter position, where the first impression that the person interviewing gets of you happens when you walk through their door and they see that you have arrived early.

If for some reason you find that you are running later than you anticipated, you are better off getting in contact with the office and letting them know before you get there that you are running late and you have a chance of saving the relationship.

4. Write A Thank You Note

Lastly, one of the best things that you can do for your job interview actually happens afterward when you write a hand written thank you note and send it to the person who interviewed you.

In this note, you are going to write how much you appreciate them having taken the time to interviewed you and you are going to explain your interest in the position.

Doing this could be the one thing that separates you from the other people who may well have interviewed for the same position.
