1 Research the company

One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to show up for an interview without knowing anything about the company you're applying to. This can make you seem uninterested, unprepared, and unprofessional. To avoid this, do some research on the company's history, vision, values, projects, and culture. Find out what their goals and challenges are, and how you can contribute to their success. This will help you tailor your answers, ask relevant questions, and show your enthusiasm and fit for the role.

Just look at such an interview as a conversation of two individuals that can truly be helpful for each other, but don't know that yet. You can start with helping the second individual know that you know them, and this does facilitates a good track of the conversation!

They say the lasting impression is made in the first few minutes, so brush up on the small talk. Be personable. You're being interviewed to be part of a team, not just what's on your resume. Elaborate on your answers as yes or no is not the full answer to the question.

Do your homework. Understand the position you're interviewing for and that you're qualified for the position. Research the company and learn everything about them before going to the interview.

Other than showing up in unprofessional attire avoid nothing . Be yourself and if they don’t see the value you were never supposed to be there. These are the questions that people overthink and get nervous about. Now you interviewed a fraction of that person.

2 Review your resume

Another common mistake is to have a resume that is outdated, inaccurate, or irrelevant. Your resume is your first impression, and it should highlight your achievements, skills, and qualifications that match the job description. To avoid this mistake, review your resume before the interview and make sure it is clear, concise, and error-free. Update it with any recent accomplishments, certifications, or trainings that are relevant to the position. Also, be ready to explain any gaps, changes, or challenges in your career history.

Der Lebenslauf ist immer noch das eigene Deckblatt, welches man als Person einem potentiellen Arbeitgeber vorlegen kann. Alle interessanten und wichtigen Informationen sind dort zusammengetragen. Es ergibt sich also von alleine, dass hier das bestm?gliche Bild erzeugt werden muss. Es geht nicht darum m?glichst keine Lücken zu haben oder besonders überm??ig Qualifiziert zu sein. Der Inhalt muss zur besetzenden Stelle passen und Lücken müssen erkl?rbar sein. Mehr Sicherheit kann man bekommen, wenn man den Lebenslauf vorher im Familien- und Bekanntenkreis zeigt. Hier kann man sich Meinungen einholen und Fehler finden, die einem selbst gar nicht aufgefallen sind. Frei nach dem Motto: "Jedes weitere Augenpaar findet einen neuen Fehler."

3 Practice your answers

A third common mistake is to give vague, rambling, or generic answers to the interview questions. This can make you seem unconfident, unprepared, or unqualified. To avoid this mistake, practice your answers to the most common and specific interview questions for construction management. Use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure your answers and provide concrete examples of your skills and experience. Also, prepare some questions to ask the interviewer that show your interest and curiosity about the role and the company.

Ich denke es geht hier nicht darum, abgedroschene Antworten auf ausgenudelte Fragen zu geben. Eine allgemeine Gespr?chsvorbereitung ist das A und O für jede Verhandlung. - Welche Vorstellungen habe ich? - Was m?chte ich erreichen? - Was erwartet mein Gegenüber von mir? - Was bringe ich mit? - Stehe ich hinter der Stelle, die ich besetzen m?chte? Diese und andere Fragen sollten Sattelfest sein. Wer klar Formulieren kann, warum er die Stelle besetzen kann und auch m?chte, kann das Gespr?ch auch im Dialog führen und tr?gt damit ma?geblich zur Anstellung und damit auch zum eigenen Erfolg bei.

4 Dress appropriately

A fourth common mistake is to dress inappropriately for the interview. This can make you seem disrespectful, unprofessional, or out of touch. To avoid this mistake, dress according to the company's culture and the level of the position. For construction management, you may need to dress in business casual or business formal attire, depending on the setting and the expectations of the interviewer. Avoid wearing anything that is too casual, too flashy, or too revealing. Also, pay attention to your grooming, hygiene, and accessories.

5 Follow up

A fifth common mistake is to forget or delay following up after the interview. This can make you seem disinterested, rude, or forgetful. To avoid this mistake, send a thank-you email or note to the interviewer within 24 hours of the interview. Express your appreciation for their time and consideration, restate your interest and fit for the role, and highlight your main qualifications and strengths. Also, mention any specific details or topics that you discussed during the interview that made a positive impression on you.
