Do's and Don't's on Job Interviews. Appearance is number one, you have to be presentable in all the aspects. If not the interviewer will think you do not take them serious. Make sure you know where the interview will take place and give yourself enough time to get there ten minutes before. Do some research on the company and what type of interview it will be so you are prepared. Make a first impression with a respectful and educated greeting and a firm hand shake. Bring copies of your resume, but sell yourself as well. Make eye contact, stress your research about the company and achievements, let them know how you can help the company and also come prepared with intelligent questions. Avoid controversy topics, do not ask about salary or any benefits until you get an offer, do not chew gum, smoke, answer cell phone or comment about you negative aspects. End the interview by letting the interviewer know that you want the job and ask what is the next process. Take notes after interview, and write a thank you letter to each interviewer within twenty-four hours. Remember to follow up.

I like these tips a lot their very much like the steps I try to follow before and during interviews. I especially like the advice to make good eye contact and to have a strong firm hand shake. I believe the most memorable thing to a interviewer is how they view you as a person, it is very important to make the person interviewing you believe you are a cofident driven person and these easy tips are a great way to make a lasting impression.
ReplyDeleteThese are very helpful tips for a job interview. It is very important to make a good impression because it really does count when they are choosing. "Remember to follow up." Very important, some people just forget and two days later they check and see that they had the job yet now they lost it because they forget to follow up. Great job.
