Let’s take a moment to check the appearance of many interviews in the vantage point of the employer. This means not only hearing answers to behavioral questions that occur in interviews that affect our judgment and decision making. Now, before you start a campaign that criticizes me, I suggest that considering this trivial thing is stupid, you naively think it is not irrelevant to look at behavior in an interview. After all, when
Advertisers, TV producers and film directors create a product for sale to you, and they realize that every detail of their presentation will affect whether you consider buying a product or enjoying their movie. They target every detail for the best results.
So let’s consider the receptionist’s reaction to him or her suddenly or rudely when you’re doing an interview. Do you think he or she might not mention this to the interviewer? And, if you refuse to complete your employment application and say all the answers are in your resume, how can an employer explain this behavior?
These are some seemingly trivial mistakes that people make year by year. There are many other people doing it. Let me share something to do, not to do.
- When you are asked to wait a few minutes until the interviewer arrives to say hello to you, the entrance points facing the room are the most so that you can see them approaching you. There is nothing worse than what you lose your focus in that book and you don’t realize it when someone comes out to say hello.
- Handshakes need to be appropriate. There are many cultural differences between appropriate interview behaviors in the United States and elsewhere in the world. Here, a solid handshake and eye contact are expected. In order to shake hands weakly, “pull out the handshake seems to be a good well”, and break the other person’s hand while shaking to avoid eye contact is poorly explained in this culture. If it’s a cold day, you need to arrive at the office building where you interview to keep your hands warm; on hot days, you need to arrive early enough to calm down. Nothing is worse than shaking hands with someone who is frozen in sweat or slippery.
- What do your shoes and clothes do or don’t do? Every company has a formal or informal corporate culture. Whichever it is, you need to dress well for this. Your clothes should be well stressed and your shoes give them shine. Your wardrobe should recommend success without screaming: “Beware of me.” This is true for both men and women.
- Preparation for the interviewer. Most interviews begin in a rather predictable way, asking you to summarize your career. They might even ask, “Tell me and what you do professionally?” Before you arrive at the interview, prepare your answer to a question like this. Plus, prepare your answers for natural follow-up questions without impressing. practice. practice. practice. Even if they rehearse, it makes your answer appear spontaneous. You know the job description the company is trying to hire; what do you ask for confirmation that you are eligible?
- Try to make personal connections with everyone who interviews you. Do I need to say more?
- Be prepared to talk about what you are looking for at work and why. It’s both a tangible question about the nature of the job you’re looking for, and a question of speaking to your character. Many people arrive with unreasonable demands and expectations. Some people answered as if they lack ambition. Think about it before you arrive at the interview.
- Do you have some questions to ask the interviewer? Check out the company’s website before the interview to learn about the company. Ask the interviewer about the ongoing projects of the group and how your role fits the team. What are their expectations of you? What is the deadline for this project? What do you need to do to be rated as an outstanding employee versus an average employee? Not asking questions indicates lack of ambition or lack of interest. Ask some and ask the interviewer to clarify one or two views on the work.
