Having found a promising vacancy, make every effort to make a good impression on the employer and get the coveted position. Lacking the natural charm and talent of a public speaker, you can make a good impression if you prepare thoroughly for the meeting.
Instructions
Step 1
To make a good impression on the employer, start preparing for the appointment well before the interview. Search the Internet for information about the head of the firm. Pay attention to both his work history and hobbies. Knowing the personality traits of the future boss can help you a lot during the interview process.
Step 2
Having collected all the necessary information, proceed directly to the preparation. Think about what you will wear for the interview. Clothing should not be too revealing and bright, but at the same time, "gray mice" are now also not held in high esteem. The optimal solution for you is a strict but elegant outfit.
Step 3
Beyond physical appearance, pay close attention to your speech. This is especially necessary for those who have already been at several interviews, but have not been hired. The level of development of a linguistic personality is one of the important indicators when applying for a job. It is difficult for a person in the process of communication to assess the level of his communicative competence. Therefore, record your speech on a dictaphone (preferably a dialogue). Listen to the recording, and you will be amazed, exclaiming: "Do I really talk like that!"
Step 4
You will not be able to fix all the identified defects in a short time, but in the process of training you can eradicate quite a few shortcomings. The most common negative feature of speech today is a sudden pause, filled with the sound ".. uh", "… well," etc. These parasitic interjections wedge into speech when a person, wanting to say a complex, long sentence, in the middle of speech suddenly loses the thread of the narrative.
Step 5
To avoid such incidents, formulate sentences that are simple in structure, but informative in content. Maintain an average speaking rate. Pronounce all words and phrases clearly and articulately. Watch the reaction of the interlocutor. If you see that at some point he stopped understanding you, then change your speech tactics.
Step 6
Answer all questions clearly and confidently. Do not think too long, because in this case it is more important for the employer to see how you can improvise and get out of difficult situations.
Step 7
Do not enter into disputes and polemics, both on professional and abstract topics. After all, whatever the outcome of the dispute, you will still be the loser. If you insist on your own, then most likely your candidacy will not pass the selection (although there are exceptions). And if your boss argues you in the presence of future colleagues at work, it will leave a negative mark on your reputation and an unpleasant aftertaste in your soul.
