Valuable tips to attend interviews.

20 05 2008

Practice Good Nonverbal Communication: This is about representing ur confidence – standing straight, making eye contact and connecting with a good, firm handshake. This first impression is very important.

Dress Codes: It is important to look professional and well-groomed. Whether u wear a suit or something less formal depends on the company culture and position u are seeking.

Listen to the Interviewer: Your interviewer will give u information either directly or indirectly. Good communication skill includes listening and letting the person know u heard what was said. Observe ur interviewer, and match that style and phase.

Don’t talk too much: Telling the interviewer more than he needs to know could be a fatal mistake. Prepare for the interview by reading through the job posting, matching ur skills with the positions requirements and relating only that information.

Don’t be too familiar: It is important to bring energy and enthusiasm to the interview and to ask questions, but do not overstep ur place as a candidate looking for a job.

Use appropriate language: You should use professional language during the interview. Be aware with inappropriate slang words or references to age, race, religion, politics or sexual orientation – these topics will send u out.

Answer the questions: When an interviewer asks for an example of a time when u did something, he is seeking a sample of ur past behavior. If u fail to relate a specific example, u not only don’t answer the question, but u also miss an opportunity to prove ur ability.

Ask questions: When the interviewer asked u whether u have any questions to ask, don’t say NO, and instead ask something relevant to the company.
