HOWTO
BEHAVE DURING AN INTERVIEW
writing
a strong job application and CV or resum6. Your behaviour during an
interview, however, is often the best and often the most important
stage in getting a job.
Interviews
may be conducted by one or by several people.
The
interview is an opportunity for the applicant to project his/her
personality and convince the interviewers of his/her suitability for
the job.
•
Pay
attention to the way you are dressed.It’s evident that getting a job depends on many factors, among them
When you are properly dressed you demonstrate respect and consideration for those with whom you interact.
Your hairstyle, nails and choice of cosmetics will contribute to your appearance.
Your clothing should meet the requirements of business style. It’s very important that you should feel comfortable in your suit.
Be ready to speak about yourself. Your words should contain something to make people take notice of yuu. Describe briefly your experience at previous jobs and the good results you achieved there.
A standard question you may be asked — “Why are you looking for a job?” You should be ready to offer reasons which sound convincing.
4* You should organize your thoughts logically, have self-confidence, and never distort facts or try to persuade people to your way of thinking.
s- You must be ready to answer some unexpected questions: ’*What are your strong points?” and “What are your weak points?”
337
Your
speech should be illustrated with clear examples. When speaking
about your failures or mistakes be sure to emphasize the conclusion
you have drawn after analyzing your failures and what they taught
you.
Just
remember that the capacity to overcome failures and analyze mistakes
is valuable to any company.
You
may be asked what you can do for the company or how you see your
future duties. You should learn as much as possible about the
company you are dealing with. If possible,;quote concrete figures
or examples so that the interviewer will appreciate the extent of
your contribution.
What
salary are you expecting?
Think
of concrete figures - you should base your answer on the average
salary of other employees with your qualification.
Be
ready for practical tests - if you apply for a job as a
saJesmanager you may be asked to sell something or to express your
opinjon about how to settle a conflict in a hypothetical situation.
At
the end of the interview you may ask some questions. You should
enquire about what your future job will entail, what possible
difficulties there are in store for you, and what the other staff
members arc like.
Some
more advice: .,
Never
be late. Even if you come too early, it is better to walk around
outside
than to bother the interviewer about what you should do
for
the next 20-15 minutes.
Remember
that your speech should be more than mere words. How you speak
sometimes is not as important as what you say.
Be
yourself -—.just speak the way you speak with your friends.
Try
to overcome your nervousness. You can learn to control your
nervousness
rather than let it get the better of you. Try to accept
nervousness
as a natural way of helping you to be alert and do your
best.
Remember it is normal and natural for you to be a little nervous.
As
you speak, smile and try to change your facial expression to
convey
the emotions that you feel. A smile coupled with good
posture
can work wonders.
Much
attention should be paid to eye contact. You should not look at the
floor or at the ceiling. Look into the eyes of the people yo° arc
talking to.
Your
speech is certain to be enthusiastic and lively.
Now
think what kind of person you are.
338
You
may
use
the following words to describe yourself and other people:
to
be reliable Co be adaptable to be energetic to be hardworking
to
be experienced to be modest
to
be practical to be punctual
to
be well-organised
to
be flexible to be friendly to be honest
to
be responsible to be patient to be ladependent to be sociable
to
be Intelligent to be loyal
to
