Whether
you’re applying to be the receptionist or the Managing Director, showing that
you are excited about the role is important.
Why?
A job
interview is an opportunity to sell yourself, and people love passion. “Faced with two candidates, if one is really
excited about the role and the other has a bit of a ‘take it or leave it’
attitude, I know who I’d pick” says Total Event Solutions General Manager,
Joanna Baker. “Experience and skills are
important, but there’s no substitute for genuine excitement about my company or
the role.”
Imagine
you’re in a restaurant and you ask the waitress about soup of the day. If she says ‘yeah, it’s ok’, how inspired
will you be to try it? What if she said
instead “The soup is fresh off the stove, I just tried some, it’s
fantastic!” You can bet she sells a lot
more soup with her second answer.
No matter
the job, hiring managers are looking for a positive attitude, an upbeat
approach to work and enthusiasm. Don’t
be afraid to show that you’re excited about working for that company, or that
you just love what you do.
