Here are some tips for facing the Interview in Good Manner.
Prepare for the interview
- Dress appropriately in simple, comfortable clothes that reflect your personality.
- Avoid wearing new shoes (squeaking noises) and do practice wearing your tie.
- Be punctual – don't be late or even too early.
- Read up about the company, what business they are into, growth trends, diversification etc
- Read your own resume - be sure that you don't have to look into your resume to recall details during the interview
- Carry extra copies of your resume and testimonials – you never know when you may need them.
- Make sure you know the full name and designation of the person interviewing you
- Keep your references ready
- Remember to make a note of your previous or current salary with all its components.
Make a Good First Impression
- Wish the interviewer(s) cheerfully and with a smile.
- A firm handshake is an indicator of how you are feeling. If you are a lady, then some male employers might not make the first move, but go ahead and initiate the handshake.
- Wait till you are asked to sit down.
- Look the person in the eye.
- Do not appear too nervous or overconfident. Your body language usually conveys more than what you are saying. Don't slouch or lean forward too much.
- Try to curb nervous mannerisms e.g. fidgeting or biting your finger.
- Appear comfortable, confident and interested in securing the job.
