What You Have to Do for an UpcomingInterview
Raise your prospects of success at your job job interview by learning what you must do when in front of the interview panel:
Initially, ensure you are on time. First impressions count, and you can’t afford to turn up late. Decide how you are going to arrive at the interview center 10 to 15 minutes ahead of time. That way, you won’t be so nervous as you enter the job interview.
Dress as well as you can. Your feeling will be largely determined by how you are dressed. Be the professional and capable candidate that you know you are, and look like it.
You must not allow silly things to get in the way of the picture that you want to portray. Do not forget to turn your mobile phone off and please dont go in with your sunglasses still on.
Introduce your self with confidence. Use a firm hand grip when you shake the job interviewer’s hand and announce your name with a smile on your face. If you smile, you will appear confident to the job interview board – even if you do not feel it.
Maintain eye contact, without staring of course, with the job interviewer whilst you are speaking to them. If you find yourself interviewed by a board, devote 80% of your eye contact to the panel member, who asked you the question and turn your head occasionally to the remaining interview panel members.
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. Keep your hands calm and not waving around or fiddling with your hair. Try to avoid habits such as repetitive, foot tapping or tongue clicking. don’t 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 interview.
