Treat everyone you meet during the day with the utmost respect, whether it is the security guard, the administrative assistant, or the actual interviewer. Be respectful if you are trying to rush through security or if you are holding an elevator for someone. All of these individuals communicate with each other, and if you leave a bad impression with any of them, it could end your candidacy. Be courteous and kind to everyone you meet. Manners do count.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The more prepared you are to execute an exceptional interview, the better are your chances of getting another interview or an offer.
- The interview process can be exhausting, so ensure you have strategies to keep your energy high.
- Focusing during the interview process is critical to success. Answering questions directly is the best way to showcase your strengths.
EXERCISES
- Practice focusing on the exact questions asked by an interviewer to avoid going off track in any way.
- Practice positive body language for interviews. Ensure you are comfortable in your interview suit, whether you are sitting at a desk or sitting on a couch in the interviewer’s office.
- Ensure that all your interview responses are positive and relevant. You can practice this during an interview workshop or with an interview buddy. You can also print the top ten to fifteen interview questions and record your responses, and then strengthen each of your answers after you listen to them.
