The Dos And Donts For A Job Interview

A few people, feel sick just at the thought of a job interview. You should face it because no one is ever happy to be questioned by a lot of strangers. It is very difficult, but you have to take it all.

But some things cannot be avoided and it is very important to calm down yourself and be prepared to face the situations.

Dos :

• Relax. Be calm and do not get too tensed.
• Be prepared. Before going for the interview, be updated with maximum details about the company.
• Proper dressing style. As it is said, first impression is the last impression. So you must go formally dressed without wearing very loud colours and such hair styles etc.
• Punctuality. Reach the company before time but not late and avoid keeping the interviewers waiting.
• Have direct eye contact. Your personality is most of the times reflected through the way you handle yourself and carry yourself. Hence, you should always have strong eye contact, shake hands with the interviewer firmly, etc.
• Be active not passive. Once you get a chance, speak out your ideas and thoughts well. Also explain yourself appropriately. The way you speak and bring out your ideas, does make a lot of difference.
• Emphasize on your abilities and skills.

Don'ts :

• Do not smoke or chew gum and things like that.
• Do not be seated before you are asked to do so.
• Do not gaga over your abilities and skills.
• Do not directly in the first itself ask about rewards and privileges.
• Do not select topics for speaking which can lead to conflicts and cause a difference of thoughts.
