good interview techniques

#dbs1
Before you go for a interview it is good to find out all you can about the company you are applying to. In order to do well in the interview you need to be able to convince the interviewer that you have the right skills for the job. First impressions is important in an interview, as most people make judgement of a person in the first 5 minutes of meeting them so make sure your, body language and image , your tone of voice and what you say is suitable. You asking questions yourself is key in an interview is shows you are interested in the business and you learn more about the business yourself. During the interview you should sell yourself to the person interviewing you, you should mention all your strenghts like what makes you right for this job, and why the should hire you.

Some key points:
Smiling is a good signal
constant eye contact
Relax
Mirror the interviewers techniques
And sit up straight in your chair.

Dont do these:
Dont indicate you are desperate for a job
Dont fidget during the interview
Avoid answers like i dont know or im not sure
And dont rush your answers

  1. A nice post Jess, you have summarised some good does and don'ts. To make your posts more appealing maybe you could add your own opinions, hyperlinks, images or video (I don't think your video above was posted correctly, remember go in to HTML view when writing your post and paste the embed code from there).
