However, job interviews are also an ideal platform for job applicants to ask questions that can provide them with insights into their potential employer’s company, operations and also the finer points of the potential job role.

1. Could you please take me through the requirements of the job role and also any expectations?

This question will enable applicants to get a firm grasp of what duties, tasks and responsibilities are required and the expectations that are in place.

2. What are the benefits the company offers?

Many employers now attract the best talent by offering various benefits and incentives. With a competitive job market in place inquiring about the benefits on offer is important.

3. How can I progress in my role?

On the Dreamjobs.lk recruitment platform, some vacancy ads obtain better results than others. Below we highlight five key areas that your vacancy ad should cover in order to obtain the best results and candidates that are most matching and suitable.

1. About the Company of Business

Almost all vacancy ads should begin with an introduction or summary about the company or business posting the ad. In addition to the name of the particular company or business and its logo, you should also make sure to mention the sector or industry it operates in and briefly provide an insight into the history and background of the organisation.

2. Job Description and Job Title

This area should cover all the elements of the particular job being posted including the duties, roles, and responsibilities. This section should be thorough and well explained so potential recruits immediately understand the exact nature of the position and the activities and results that are expected of the employee. 

3. Candidate Profile

This area should note down all the skills, experience and knowledge the ideal candidate should have in order to be effective and successful at the job being advertised. 

In addition to any educational qualifications, the vacancy ad should also include the required experience and also the desired knowledge and understanding of the relevant industry or sector.

4. Compensation and Benefits

Possibly the most critical and important area to cover would be mentioning details of the compensation and benefits package that the successful applicant would receive. This is often the key to attracting and retaining productive team members.

5. Next Steps

This area should very clearly highlight the next steps for those wanting to apply. It could be that they have to send an email with their CV or they may have to visit a website and submit their details online. Given the competition that exists for top talent, the more simple and easy it is to apply the higher the chance you would be able to obtain the best results, in terms of the number of applications. 

At all times make sure your vacancy ad is appealing and interesting. The descriptions should activate the interest of the reader and make them excited about applying for the position. 

As a general rule, the more specific and detailed the vacancy ad, the more applicants that meet the criteria will apply. Good luck!

So you saw the vacancy advertisement on Dreamjobs.lk and then you applied. After some time you are invited to face an interview.

Below we feature Five Top Tips to Face Job Interviews:

1. Do you Research

This is critical to getting through the interview. You should, first of all, read up all about the position you are applying for and understand all the duties, responsibilities and deliverables related to the role.

Furthermore, you should thoroughly read up on the complying company, its activities, operations, processes and other details that relate to your exacting role.

The job description or role profile is also very important and you should pay special attention to this as it sets the expectations right from the outset.

2. Be Punctual

You don't want to be late for a job interview. It could be online or in-person but whichever it may be, you should not be late for the start.

Given that many job interviews are conducted online these days, applicants must take extra care in ensuring that there is a stable internet connection, you have the required software or have logged in to the platform mentioned in the invitation.

3. Appearances Matter

If you have a keen interest in securing the job and are serious then you should look the part. Although your interview may be held online you should always make it a point to look smart, presentable and hirable.

Those considering senior roles can even opt for jackets and ties if the image persona calls for it, why not?

4. Sell Yourself

You should share how your existing skills, knowledge and experience will be an asset to your employer and how you can leverage the principles learned from your qualifications to help better do the tasks assigned to you. 

Instead of boasting about your abilities with long-winded and irreverent statements, candidates should focus on connecting the dots between their existing skills, knowledge and experience and how each of those will contribute to ensuring the job gets done surpassing expectations. 

5. Ask Questions

Employers often prefer candidates that have insightful questions that help to gauge the candidate in their enthusiasm and ability. The questions may revolve around your working patterns, duties, responsibilities and deliverables. But they may also be about working hours, dress codes or other information.
