Best 10 Tips For Job interview

Job interview

What can you do to appear more confident during a job interview? First of all, being dressed for the part, being dressed well, will help you feel better about yourself, and actually make you feel more confident. So, of course you pay attention to your appearance. I would think that concept is simple enough, but you would be surprised by the look of some people at their job interview.
When you are meeting with the interviewer, you want to shake the person’s hand, not too hard. Someone who has just a touch of arthritis (even young people can have arthritis), will feel pain if you squeeze their hand too hard. However, a very weak, milk toast, soft handshake doesn’t put forth an air of confidence. So a firm handshake is best, not soft, not weak, but not scrunching the interviewer’s hand either. And while doing so, you look straight into their eyes. In fact, during most of the interview you want to be looking at their eyes.
This brings me to the subject of body language. At its simplest is the importance of keeping your arms in an open position, with your palms usually showing. Look at sales presenters in television infomercials. Watch their mannerisms, especially with their hands. Everything in that infomercial is done to build trust in the viewers’ minds. When our fear level is high, when we are not feeling confident, we will often fold our arms in front of our chest, and that is a closed body language. It says, “I am defiant. I will not let other people in. I don’t like what you are saying to me.”
A confident person will stand or sit “tall” with their back straight. A confident person will have good posture. Here is the strange part: your posture is very important to your level of self-confidence. Not only is a confident person, sitting tall and straight, but sitting tall and straight can actually help you to feel confident in much the same way as being well dressed can make you feel confident.
The catch-22 to this is if you worry about, and are concerned about what the interviewer thinks, you will appear less confident, which will make you worry more about what the interviewer thinks, which will make you less confident, and so on you go down the spiral. If you have high self-esteem or a feeling of having a competent self-image, you will not worry so much about what other people think. When you place someone else’s thoughts as being more important than your own, you are saying, “That person is better than you.”
Ten Steps to Interview Success
1. Before the job interview, write down several success stories and list key job skills. Write down a few instances where these job skills were successfully employed.

2. Perform some preliminary research on the company and learn about its products and services. Print out several pages of the company’s website and lay them out during the job interview. When asking the employer about the company, make notes in the margins of these printouts.

3. Be clear and concise. When answering questions during the interview, don’t ramble on and get off track. Keep answers brief and to the point, yet at the same time conversational.

4. Discuss strengths and job accomplishments. Throughout the job interview, mention a core set of key strengths several times. Include discussion on specific achievements. Be specific, citing three or more major accomplishments.

5. Tie job skills and strengths into the company’s goals. Talk about how the candidate’s core set of strengths and job skills match the position and how they would benefit the company.

6. Think like a member of the company’s team. When the candidate says something like, “As a member of the company’s team, (the candidate) would…,” it impresses the employer and displays the candidate’s enthusiasm and proactivity. However, the candidate should not overdo it and act like he or she already has the job.

7. Ask the employer questions about the company and the requirements of the position. Toward the end of the job interview, the employer always asks whether the candidate has any questions. The answer should always be “yes,” and the candidate should be prepared with a list of questions to ask.

8. Don’t be a one-sided robot. While the candidate should at all times be brief and concise, at the same time he or she should never be robotic or one-sided. Answer all the employer’s questions concisely, but make sure to keep a steady conversational flow going.

9. Pay attention to body language. Do not fidget in the chair. Sit up straight, on the edge of the chair if need be. Do not gaze out the window or furrow the eyebrows at challenging questions. Maintain good eye contact and smile often.

10. Wear modern clothing and an updated hairstyle. An updated look indicates to an employer a youthful appearance. Youth is associated with energy and vigor, which employers are attracted to. A youthful look along with a modicum of enthusiasm during the job interview can help increase the chances for landing the job.

Effective Job Interviewing: The Bottom Line
The key to a successful job interview is to be relaxed, yet professional.
When the job seeker performs initial research before the job interview, asks questions related to the duties of the position, expresses enthusiasm, ties strengths in with company goals, and smiles often, he or she may impress the employer enough to place the interviewee in the list of top candidates.
