Want That Job? Improve Your Interview Skills!
Although it's been said that "You can't judge a book by its
cover," it happens all the time. In business as well as in life
in general we are always judging and being judged. That all
important first impression is lasting.
It's been statistically proven that people make judgments about
others in the first 30 seconds to one minute of meeting them.
Therefore, job seekers have only a short time to make that
impression a positive one.
Everyone knows they should be clean, neat and polished
"looking" when they walk in the door for the interview. That's
only part of the preparation though.
When seeking employment, there is something you can do to make
yourself memorable to the interviewer. Improve your interview
skills. Following are ten (plus one) easy ways to do this. Each
will demonstrate positive things about you to the interviewer.
1. Arrive for your interview at least ten minutes early. You
show that you are interested and have manners enough NOT to keep
the interviewer waiting.
2. If you are sitting when the interviewer arrives, stand up
when they come in. Introduce yourself and give a firm handshake.
Again, this speaks to business etiquette and interpersonal
skills.
3. Prior to the interview, make sure you have scoped out the
business. How? Research them online and discreetly stop by/drive
by to gauge how people interact; what they are wearing, etc.
4. Be polite to everyone you meet. Leave the receptionist with
as good impression of you as any other VIP! This shows that you
consider everyone important.
5. Have questions for the interviewer and make sure you've
listed them ahead of time. This shows you've given some thought
to the position and have some idea of what the business is about.
6. Be able to discuss
what you are "all about" in a two minute
speech. Practice and memorize it ahead of time. You will almost
always hear: 'Tell me about yourself." This way you can be ready
to respond.
7. Bring at least two fresh copies of your resume. (Use good
stock resume paper and not the paper you use every day.)
8. Make sure your resume reflects you. Don't make up things to
make yourself look good-you will be found out.
9. If you are now employed, do not badmouth your current
employer. When asked why you are seeking other employment, it's
fair to say you want to expand your horizons or opportunities.
Perhaps such opportunities are not available in your job. If you
badmouth your boss, it will make the potential employer question
your professionalism and loyalty and make them wonder how you
would talk about people if you were hired.
10. After the interview, send a thank you note. In it you'll
thank the interviewer for taking time to see you and you'll
indicate that you are very interested in the position.
Finally: Ask for the job! So often people leave interviews and
never express their interest. That's a mistake. When you don't
ask for the job what message do you send the interviewer?
By using these suggestions, you'll make a great impression on
the interviewer. As a result, you'll be the "book" that that is
read beyond just the cover!
