posted on October 21st, 2009
If you have an emerging interview, for a job that you are eager to attain, then you have to study what you need to do during the interview:
To begin with, you must be on time. First impressions count, and you cannot afford to turn up late. Make a plan of how you are going to arrive at the destination 10 to 15 minutes ahead of time. That way, you won’t be so anxious as you enter the interview.
You must dress for success. Your picture will be largely determined by how you are dressed. Present yourself as professional candidate is confident and capable of the role that you are applying for.
Be clear in your message and don’t tolerate any unnecessary distractions. Turn off your mobile phone and take off his sunglasses.
pronounce hello confidently. Smile and sound out your name confidently as you shake the interviewers hands with a decent grip. If you smile, you will appear confident to the interview panel - even if you don’t feel it.
Look at your interviewer, eye to eye, when you are answering their questions. do not stare, but appear confident. If you are faced with an interview panel - then spend the majority of your time engaging the eye contact of your primary questioner, but glance at the others to acknowledge them too.
Use open body language, to have an empowering effect on the job interview board. Be aware of how you behave and try to avoid any unfhelpful, non verbal messages. Try sitting forward slightly whilst being upright in your job interview chair. Do not fiddle with your hands or hair. don’t reveal any unhelpful habits such as tongue or hand wringing. do not think that you shouldn’t be nervous - you will be. Just try to hide it.
With a bit of luck, these tactics will help you be successful in your job interview.
