There
are few tips you must know while walking into interview. A person qualities and
knowledge only does not matter even a behavior matters. This are the tips which
will be helpful while attending interviews. The full information about the must
be known before entering the interview room. These are the qualities which I have
listed from Google source.
Do’s
·
Wear
the right outfit: Make sure you know
what the dress code is for the office. One good idea is to check with HR before
the interview to get a feel of what you should wear.
·
Bring
copies of your résumé: Although you're sure
the company has your résumé, it never fails to bring copies of you’re just in
case your interviewer needs to look at it and doesn't have it in front of her.
·
Have
a nice folder for your résumé: your résumé keep it in pristine condition in a
professional-looking folder.
·
Have
the appropriate body language: Be aware of how you're carrying yourself during an interview,
because your posture, eye contact, and relaxed position can impress your
interviewer. Remember to sit still and straight and don't fidget.
·
Give
the right answer to the weakness question: This could be the question that could trip you up. Be honest
and give a real answer and not a cop-out one.
·
Be
on time or slightly early:
Turning up five to 10 minutes early is the sweet spot for interviews. Showing
up too early can make things awkward, and showing up too late is a red flag.
But just because you only have to get there shortly before the interview starts
doesn't mean that you can leave your house later. Plan to be near the interview
spot a lot earlier than when it starts to account for unexpected delays like
traffic, and hang around in a nearby coffee shop until it is close to the
interview time.
·
Prepare
the right questions for the interviewer: Make sure you've prepared a list of good questions to ask your interviewer at the
end. Pay attention throughout the interview, so you'll have questions related to what the hiring
manager talked about. This shows that you're actively listening.
·
Send
a thank you note: Always send a thank
you note after the interview. This is something that's appreciated by a lot of
recruiters. It's also your chance to make a final impression or clarify
anything you didn't get around to in your interview.
Don't
·
Think
the interview is over until you walk out the door: The interview will continue until you walk
out the office door, so be careful of your behavior and your words even when
your hiring manager is done firing questions at you. Be polite and on top of
your game when you are making casual conversation on your way out, and be nice
to the receptionist.
·
Get
too relaxed: Your interviewer can
seem like your long-lost BFF, but . . . she's not. And you shouldn't treat her
like one. It's OK to be friendly, but you're still trying to make a good
impression. Don't be too relaxed or you may slip up and do something that's
unprofessional. She's not going to base the interview solely on how likeable
you are.
·
Badmouth
your old job: Maybe you had a boss
à la Devil Wears Prada, but your hiring manager doesn't need
to know that. Badmouthing your former employer just gives off negative vibes
and detracts from your professionalism.
·
Be
unprepared: This should be
obvious, but research the company to death. This is so you can craft your
answers to fit the kind of candidate they're looking for and show that you're
diligent and have done your homework.
·
Address
salary or benefits until the interviewer does: OK, so they are very important factors for you, but hold off
until you get the job offer. Your interviewer wants to see what you can do for
the company, not what's in it for you.
·
Freak
out if you don't know the answer: The interviewer just threw you a big curveball by asking you
to do some calculations when you have a phobia of math. Don't. Freak. Out. The
worst thing you can do is to clam up when you don't know an answer, because you
won't be able to think clearly and may throw out a bad answer in panic.
·
Lie: Never, ever lie. Being found out will ruin
your chances of getting the job. Plus if you make up something, you may not be
able to talk at length about it without slipping up. Generally speaking,
honesty is the best policy.
·
Talk
about your problems: You need the job to
pay off your student loans, blah blah. The hiring manager does not want to hear
about your 99 problems, and although you're being honest, it can come off as a
pity party. You will be hired based on your qualifications, potential for
success, and your fit with the culture. Everything else will be secondary to
those factors.
