A successful job interview is combined many factors, from
appearance to content. Many people before find a suitable job. They experienced
many job interviews and had many failures. The question: “Why am I unsuccessful
in this interview?” seems not to be considered by applicants. Thus, in order
not to waste time and effort on those kinds of unsuccessful interview, you
should prepare the most essential skills regarding job interview for yourself.
The earnest dress
One of the most important and simplest skills for job
interview is clothing. To dress the earnest clothing showing that you
appreciate firm’s culture as well as you respect the employers. Although you’re
kind of person who like comfortable and handy clothing, you can’t wear jeans
and pullover to attend a job interview. The first impression is not everything
but it will decide the employers’ sympathy toward you. If you don’t consider
about clothing, in employers’ view you will become scruffy and compliant. No
firm wants to employ an employee in the future who is scruffy and compliant
like that.
Body language
Body language which also decides your success and failure
element in interview is not less important than language. With a small action
which you unintentionally express maybe shows a negative attitude toward
employers, such as: you’re always looking at your watch showing you neither
spend much time nor pay much attention to the interview. Even you find it
boring. These things such as not sit up straight, shoulders droop, wiggle
constantly while talking, do many superfluous acts, eyes look down, etc.
proving that you’re lacking in being confident in every of your sentences. Your
body can send much more emotion than you thought. Therefore, you should pay attention
to each gesture which seems to be small in answering job interview. Sitting up
straight, keeping your shoulders straight, don’t wiggle constantly on chair and
don’t look at your watch many times, etc. in order to create good impression to
employers.
Confident and straightforward attitude
In order to express the confident and straightforward
attitude, you keep looking straight to employers’ eyes when being interviewed.
When you communicate with them, don’t be ambiguous or hesitate. You should
present your issue clearly and coherently as much as you can. If you want to do
it, you have to prepare a comfortable mind. Though you always appreciate this
interview, you should consider is as a work that you should finish easily. The
more being confident and comfortable, the much easier of job
Don’t say “I don’t know”, “I can’t do that”
When you meet questions regarding a matter that you’ve not
ever heard, don’t be hurried to answer such as: “I don’t know”, “I can’t do
that”. Then the employers will appraise that you are incompetent. Instead of
it, you should be cleverer and answer like: “I didn’t learn about it”, “I’ll
study this matter” in order to prove that you’re studious. This is one of the
most important job interview skills that many people don’t know.
The power of smile
Smile is one of the best way to shows the sincere and
friendly attitude. So that, in the interview you should take full advantage of
smile at the right time. For example when you tell a funny situation which
occurred in a business trip, what kind of experience that the trip gives to
you, etc. It not only shows the sincere and friendly attitude but also creates
happy and comfortable atmosphere for the conversation between you and the
employers.
Don’t tell the negative points concerning the last company
There’s a common question from employers which you usually
meet is “why do you leave the last company?” In that case, don’t ever answer by
defaming your old boss or old colleagues. Employers definitely conclude that at
this time you can say the negative things about your last company; at another
time if you leave their company, you will do the same thing like you used to.
Consequently, in order to answer well this question, you should tell about the
inappropriate points between you and your last company, and your expectation to
meet a new challenge, a new experience.
Know how to give question avoiding being passive
During the job interview, you don’t be passive just
answering the questions which are given by employers. There’s a very important
job interview skill which not everyone knows is how to give questions back to
employers. Sometimes giving questions to employers makes the interview turn to
be easier. It’s like a close conversation, not a stressful and anxious
examination. Besides, employers will feel satisfied when they know how much you
consider about the job in future.
However, giving questions is not easy. The questions
concerning the feature, nature, business modality, etc, will make employers
think that you didn’t learn anything about them. You should give clever
questions so as to show your ability as well as proving you are aware of their
company. Such as “What kind of technology which I could use in order to meet
this job the best?” or “I tried a software which is very suitable for this job,
I wonder did your company try this method?” etc.
Finally, the most important thing which among many other job
interview skills is you have to be who you are. Even though how much you know
surely the way to “flatter” employers, the only one which they concern and pay
attention most is not the appearance, it’s your ability and moral standards.
Therefore, in order to gain a job as you desire, you should always and always
be yourself in employer’s eyes.
