INTERVIEW FIRST IMPRESSIONS
It is important to make a good impression right away, as the interviewer often makes their mind up about a candidate within the first few minutes of an interview. To ensure you make a good impression here are a few guidelines for you to follow:
• Dress professionally
• Give a strong firm handshake at the beginning and end of the interview.
• Smile
• Be confident in yourself and your abilities
• Express your motivation and enthusiasm
• Speak about results and success, not just responsibilities
• Express to the interviewer your interest in the job and company.
• Be yourself - don’t pretend to play a role.
• Make eye contact with the interviewer when answering questions.
• Be spontaneous! (don't seem like you've memorized all your answers)
• If you make a mistake stay calm, regain control and don’t let it worry you, everyone is human
• Remember, your facial expressions
and tone of voice are just as important as words.
…Get the job you deserve…
