Many years ago, when I was a young job-searching greenhorn, I ventured to New York City to take a bite out of the big apple of opportunity.
When it came to finding a job in a crowded city of millions, I quickly learned that it’s much easier on one’s sanity 1 to sign up with one of the many employment agencies which helps job seekers looking for work.
I scoured 2 the newspaper and found a large ad for one such well-known employment agency. True to their word, they promptly 3 sent me off on several interviews – none of which I felt particularly comfortable at. Needless to say, I didn’t get any job offers.
While nursing a cold, I decided 4 I needed a change. So, I contacted a much smaller agency and decided to see if my luck would be different.
They were down-to-earth friendly and genuinely concerned about helping 5 me find a job. Before they sent me out on any interviews, they put me through a mock interview session and evaluated my performance .Afterwards, an advisor 6 sat me down and we chatted about the results of my mock interview.
I am forever grateful for the feedback I got that day, because the interview preparation tips they gave me have served me well over countless 7 interviews these many years. I’ve condensed their pointers into five simple rules that anyone can follow for better success at a job interview.
Eye Contact – Look directly at your interviewer. Don’t cast your eyes down.
Sit up Straight – Don’t slouch in your chair – it makes you look lazy and uninterested. Good posture 8 makes you look like a confident person.
Don’t Fidget – Keep your hands in your lap when you’re not making a point in the conversation. Fidgeting looks unprofessional.
Speak Up – Don’t mumble 9 your words. Speak directly at your interviewer with a clear, strong voice.
Smile and Show Some Personality – It’s ok to be a little nervous, but remember to stay loose and be yourself. Personality counts for a lot.
Of course, there’s a lot more to think about when preparing for a Job interview. But even if you only remember these five simple interviewing rules, you’ll be able to make a good impression .
