1. Review the job description

Examine the candidate’s required and desired qualifications, as well as the role’s primary tasks. Take notice of essential tasks and think about how your education, abilities, and experience match up with the position.

2. Research the company

You should be able to respond to inquiries regarding the company’s goods, market, and other relevant strategies and data gleaned via research. Expect to be asked something along the lines of, “What do you know about us?” Read blog entries and posts on social media accounts as part of your investigation. Check to see if you know someone who works for the company and might provide you with extra information.

3. Know your name

Prepare a list of past roles as well as experiences that demonstrate your ability. Be able to summarise your three most significant achievements and how they illustrate your ability to succeed in the position you’re looking for. 

4. Practice Interviewing

Interviewing with a friend is a good way to practise. Give them a list of questions that are frequently asked during screening interviews and have them practise responding to them. If the screening interview will be conducted over the phone, have a buddy contact you for a practise interview. If you intend to take notes during the interview, prepare them ahead of time for your practise session. 

5. Prepare Questions

Make a list of thoughtful questions to ask the interviewer to demonstrate your interest in the job.

What To Do In Screening Interview

1. Find a quiet location

Set up at least 30 minutes, assuming the screening interview will be conducted over the phone, to chat with the interviewer in a quiet setting without distractions.

2. Be enthusiastic

Try to build rapport with the interviewer. Express interest in the company and ask about the potential timeframe and next steps. Ask for the interviewer’s email address, if you don’t have it already, so you can follow up.

3. Smile as you speak

When you’re talking about your work, when you’re asking questions, or when you’re expressing your passion for the organisation, you should smile. The difference in tone will be discernible to the interviewer, and it can have a significant impact on how enthusiastic you sound about the employment.

4. Be straightforward

Make it as simple as possible for the interviewer to obtain the information they require. Directly respond to questions by being direct and to the point.

5. End on a positive note

Thank the interviewer for the opportunity to discuss the position and end the call on a positive tone. “Thank you very much for taking the time to call,” you could say. I loved what I heard about the position and the firm, and I am convinced that I would be a good fit for it. I’d like to meet you in person and go over the possibility in further detail. “What’s the next step?” says the narrator.

Following are some basic strategies for making the wait easier and increasing the chances of a callback following the screening interview:

1. Send a thank-you note

Within 24 hours of the interview, send a thank-you email or handwritten note. Reiterate your interest in the post and express your gratitude for the opportunity to interview for it.

2. Follow instructions

Follow whatever directions you were provided, such as following up via email. If you didn’t get a chance to ask about the following steps during the interview, do so in your follow-up email.

Be aware that your thank-you note may go unnoticed, especially if the organisation is evaluating a big number of individuals. One week after the interview, and then again after two weeks, follow u

4. Begin preparing for a second interview

Be aware that your thank-you note may go unnoticed, especially if the organization is evaluating a big number of individuals. One week after the interview, and then again after two weeks, follow up.

You never know when you’ll be called in for another round of interviews, so be prepared to show up at any time. More research is needed to locate information on company milestones, award-winning projects, or new initiatives that isn’t readily available on the company’s website and that you can incorporate into the interview.
