The sales assistant is the face of his company. When choosing a vacancy for a sales assistant, you need to correctly submit yourself at the interview, demonstrating your best qualities and skills. And then the result of your efforts will be a long-awaited job offer.
Who is a sales assistant. Collecting job information
A sales assistant is a kind of lifesaver for a buyer who is lost among the abundance of goods and services. Live advertising of a particular product.
Therefore, the first step towards the perfect interview is to research the products and services provided by the employing company. Visit the site of a potential employer, read reviews about the company. Feel free to ask your friends if they have used similar services or products. Purchase some of the products for yourself to evaluate their quality.
At the interview, mention that you used the services or goods of this company, and correctly tell the pros and cons of a particular service / product at your discretion.
Appearance presentation
The sales assistant must have an impeccable appearance. Most often, consultants wear a special uniform with their company logo. Show your sense of style and respect for clothes by showing up for your interview in a clean, ironed business suit. It can be a white blouse combined with a midi skirt (knee-length, in short, it is already considered bad form), and a jacket with trousers.
The tone of formal wear does not imply flashy shades, so choose calm pastel colors. Matt blue, beige or light gray.
The same goes for jewelry. It is undesirable to abuse the number of rings and bracelets, as well as the length of earrings. Modest jewelry made of gold or silver is ideal. A watch will help you characterize you as a punctual and stylish person. Choose a model without rhinestones and frivolous hearts on the bracelet.
For any employer, in addition to clothing, grooming is an important part of a good employee. Clean face skin, neat nails, stylish hairstyle …
It is generally accepted that if a person is careful about his appearance, then he is also collected and accurate at work. It's a pleasure to work with such a person.
Speech as the main tool of the sales assistant
A sales assistant in the course of his work has to talk a lot, explaining to the buyer the quality and function of a certain product, etc.
When preparing for your interview, listen to your speech. Try saying something about a tube of toothpaste, for example. Record yourself on video. Speech should be clear and meaningful. Avoid parasitic words and stretching pauses ("this is like", "ah-ah", "uh-uh", etc.).
You can learn to speak clearly with the help of tongue twisters. Back in Soviet times, people trained their speech by speaking words with walnuts in their mouths. It is necessary to shove a nut behind each cheek and speak until the words acquire a distinct sound. Try reading a poem aloud as well.
Try to speak confidently during the interview. Look directly at the employer, not at the floor or ceiling. A benevolent smile is encouraged, but without familiarity.
Keep yourself relaxed, but not lax. Stick to open postures and gestures. Look at the presenters of the weather forecast and try using the same gestures - placing the elbows at some distance from the body, calm movement of the palms, smooth movement of the body, etc.
Your positive attitude will not be superfluous during the interview. Feel a successful result, imagine that you are already working for the chosen company. Hold on with dignity, and they will certainly want to cooperate with you in the future.
