Job interviews are often quite
terrifying to the amateur interviewee or even to one who has been through the
wine press a few times. Lightening the tension is crucial to appearing
confident and composed, so here are a few extra tips to help you stay in
control.
1.
Dress appropriately and speak professionally
Appearance and conservatism is
everything in an interview. Dress well, look clean, maintain good posture,
practice eye contact, and speak professionally. Be careful that your answers do
not go beyond sixty seconds. You should know exactly what kind of occupation
you are applying for and sell yourself to the employer.
2.
Relax
Future employers can sense fear and
a lack of confidence; neither is helpful in an interview. Try practicing
anticipated questions in the mirror or with a friend to prepare. Always arrive
early and organized. If you are to be late, simply phone the company.
Punctuality is a must.
3.
Pay attention to your manners
Finally, remember your manners. If
it is not something that you would do in a formal meeting with an advisor or
senior, do not do it. This includes chewing gum, interruptions, being
disrespectful or insulting, or bringing up controversial topics.
Remember the basics and know whom
you are dealing with to guarantee success. If you have any other important
tips, feel free to share them with us in the comments section.
