Seize the Opportunity and the Job The Interview

So, youve submitted a killer Curriculum Vitae and supporting documents. Youre ahead of the pack and have just received a call for an interview. What do you do next? The interview is the most stressful and important part of job hunting.

This is where the employers make a decision based on his or her impression of whether to hire you for their job. You will want to do your best in this part because here lays the culmination of all your job hunting efforts. Flub it here and all your efforts from application to examinations will go down the drain. 1.

Make a Great Impression Always dress in your best attire for the interview. Your attire should be appropriate. No matter what the company may require for their employees, the first impression for applicants should be conservative business attire. 2. Do a Little Research One of the best ways to make a good impression on your interviewer is to do a little research on the company you are applying for.

This will equip you with material to answer many of the questions the interviewer will ask. One of the main points of the questions you will be asked is how your skills can benefit the company. If you know a thing or two about the company, you will find it a lot easier to answer this question. Plus, dropping a few meaty tidbits about how much you know about the company will go a long way in impressing the interviewer. 3. Watch Your Body Language Many of the interviewers are well versed in body language, and you will find that, throughout the interview, they will be looking for hints about your personality from the way you act, talk, and move.

It would be abnormal to assume a different set of body language during the interview. What you should do is to take note of your body language so that at least it communicates openness and honesty. Avoid telling lies or embellishing your answers.

Experienced interviewers will notice this in an instant. Always keep your palms open and avoid crossing your legs or your arms together. Do not be afraid to make eye contact while speaking; just make sure that you do not come across as intimidating. 4. Confidence Walk in with a purpose.

Answer with a purpose. Try not to be too self-conscious. Make sure you are confident in what you say. If you hit a snag and find yourself in a compromising situation, make sure you handle the situation confidently even when saying that you do not know an answer to a question.

Confidence reflects competence. Employers always look for competent people to fill their ranks.
