A successful interview can be a bridge to a new life with a high-paying job and recognition from others. Therefore, you need to prepare for the interview carefully and behave in the interview so that the employer does not have doubts about your professional suitability and performance.
Instructions
Step 1
Enter your office confidently, say hello and introduce yourself. Smile kindly, but not ingratiatingly. Meet the look of the interlocutor calmly, do not lower your eyes and do not be embarrassed.
Step 2
Choose a chair closer to the person you are talking to if you are asked to choose a seat. Resist the temptation to sit as far away from your potential employer as possible. This can betray your fear and self-doubt.
Step 3
Do not assume a defensive posture: do not cross your legs or interlace your arms. Keep yourself relaxed. But do not lean back casually on the back of a chair, or throw your hands behind your head. Laxity has no place in a serious interview.
Step 4
Answer questions clearly and confidently. Think in advance of your answers at home, you can even rehearse with someone from home. As a rule, at the interview they ask the same type of questions that relate to your previous job, experience, personal qualities and plans for the future.
Step 5
Feel free to ask yourself what you think is important. But don't do it in the first minutes of the interview. Wait for the interlocutor to provide you with such an opportunity. You can make notes in the diary and clarify information. Show your interest in a potential job.
Step 6
Watch your gestures. They can often say more about a person than words. Do not fiddle with your clothes, do not constantly correct your hair, and do not touch your face. This is done by people insecure or those who have something to hide. Hands folded like a house, confident periodic nods of the head and palms open towards the interlocutor speak of your calmness and control of the situation.
Step 7
Remember that in the interview, you are not the only one chosen. You, too, make your choice and wonder whether this company is worth your efforts, time and a piece of life. Therefore, behave as an equal partner, not as a supplicant.
