Career advice - how to impress during a job interview
by Groshan Fabiola I try to cover as many topics as I canSometimes an interview is your biggest chance for getting the career you want. So you have to make sure that you are the candidate who will get the position you apply for. But everyone knows that an interview can be nerve wracking, because you do not know what to expect from. The face-to-face interview is the one that will offer the employer a chance to meet and know you. This is your only chance to talk to an actual person, and that person is the one who decides your career. According to the impression, you will make during the interview they will decide if you are the right person for that position and if they should offer you a chance. There are numerous tips that can help you impress your interviewer, so you should try to relax and get ready for that moment.
The company has chosen you to come for an interview
Probably there were thousands of resumes
sent when they listed that they have an open position. Not all that candidates
were qualified and the company made a selection and decided to call you. This
means that your resume told them that you could be the right person for the job
they have. They
are confident in your skills and experience, and they want to talk with you
to get to know you better. Only considering these aspects you should feel more
confident. If you are a confident person then you have greater chances to have
a successful interview.
Adopt a formal look
You may love bright colours, but if you
want to get this job then you should keep your joyful outfits for the times
when you go out with your friends. You will have occasions to wear playful
outfits at the work, once you get the job, but until then it is advisable to
opt for a formal look. During the interview, you should show your prospective
employers that you
are a professional and they can be confident that you can do your job. If
you will be confident, in the way you look, the interviewer will see this and
they will respond to your attitude.
Have a confidence boost
If you want to feel more comfortable in
your body, you should start doing some exercises, because if you are in a great
shape you will feel more confident. When you start applying for jobs you should
also start a vigorous workout routine, because it will help you stay focused on
what you have to do and say. Exercising will also help you stay relaxed before
the interview, because there are great chances for you to have butterflies in
your stomach the night before. If you will exercise, you will be tired and you
will sleep deep.
Get plenty of rest the night before
It is important for you to be fresh during
the day of your interview. You may have the misconception that you will be able
to do your best even if you are tired, but you know that this is a false
statement. The last thing you want during an interview is to be exhausted. If
you exercise, the night before your body will be tired and you will easily fall
asleep.
You should eat the morning before the interview
Many people are so nervous they do not feel
the need to eat before the interview. But if you have a nutritious breakfast
you will be more concentrated during the interview and you will answer the
interviewer’s questions more effectively. If you are able to focus on the
questions they ask you then you will have greater
chances to have a successful interview. You do not want to be distracted
during the interview by the growling from your stomach.
The first impression counts
When you step into their office, you have
to offer them a good first impression before starting the conversation. You
should visit your hairdresser before, because you want to make sure that your hair
is in a great state and looks great on the interview day. Also, you should pay
attention to the condition of your teeth because they influence the first
impression people have when they talk to you. In case you experience health
issues with your teeth, it is advisable to contact a professional and fix them
before applying for a job. The last thing you want is a smelly breath when you
talk with your future employer. The specialists from Mackenzie Dental Centre state
that the persons who have healthy and shiny teeth have greater chances to get a
job, than a candidate who does not care for their denture.
The handshake is important
When you enter the interview room, you
should handshake with the interviewer, especially if you are a man. It is
important to have a tissue at hand if you know that your hands tend to go
sweaty in nervous situations. You do not want to put your sweaty hand into the
one of your future boss. If you start with a firm handshake you have better
chances to impress them during the interview, and you show them that you are
confident. Also, a firm handshake is a proof of enthusiasm, and companies are
always looking for employees who are happy to become part of their team.
Be prepared to ask them questions
At the end of the interview, they will ask
you if you have any questions
you want to address them. You should have some questions prepared if you
want to make a good impression.
· - Ask them if they face any
challenges in their industry
· - Ask them if the company plans to
extend, in case you have not found news about this aspect online
· - Ask them what they expect from
you within the first month of employment if you will be selected
· - Ask them if they appreciated a
certain skill of the person who previously held the position you apply for
· - And last but not least ask them
what makes them unique on the market they are acting
These questions will show them that you are
a professional, and you are interested in their company.
