| Interview tips | | |
Your interview with HP could have a major impact on your future. To help make it a positive experience both for you and HP, here are valuable reminders: - Ask yourself some probing questions: What do you want to do? Where do you want to work? What do you have to offer? If you know the answers to these questions, you'll be better positioned for your interview with HP.
- Be knowledgeable about HP. Check out HP's Web site http://www.hp.com and read about us in current and past issues of newspapers, business magazines and technical journals.
- Know which positions interest you. Use the job search tool at this Web site to view available jobs that best match your interests and experience.
- Honestly evaluate your willingness to move if relocation is required.
- Show your enthusiasm. Let the interviewer know what professional areas you are excited and curious about.
- Demonstrate your abilities. Be prepared to answer technical questions. You might be asked about your work experience or class projects. We are interested in how you arrived at the answers as well as the answers themselves.
- Differentiate yourself. Let the interviewer know why you should get a job over other candidates. Discuss your important personal strengths. HP wants candidates with expertise in their field, but we are also looking for the following qualities:
- Interpersonal skills: the ability to work well with a wide range of people from diverse backgrounds and cultures.
- Flexibility: the ability to handle frequent change.
- Team player: the ability to be both a good team member and a good team leader.
- Analytical thinking skills: the ability to ask pertinent questions, see the big picture as well as its parts, and evaluate how the parts fit together.
- Communication ability: the ability to communicate verbally and in writing in a clear, concise, non-judgmental manner.
- Commitment: especially to continuously improve, both professionally and personally.
- Interview us. The interview is also an opportunity for you to check out whether HP is where you want to be.
- Your resume/CV is important. This gives HP a 'snapshot' of you prior to the interview and guides the line of questioning. Be sure it reflects the qualifications and experience needed for the job for which you are interviewing. Bring supporting application information. Depending on the specific area of HP you are applying to, we may also need to see information relating to your thesis, diploma results, or any recommendations.
