Six tips to increase your Interview Success
In a recent research study, undertaken by Extra Sensory Perception and
commissioned by on-line recruitment company Ifoundwork, over 50
recruiter's from key industry sectors in the UK were questioned
about the traits that they most like and dislike in an
applicant. When asked about the things that made a positive
impression on them during the interview process certain trends
emerged. Six of the top twelve responses are listed below. So,
if you want to give yourself the best chance of impressing a
prospective employer, review them to see how you match up.
The research suggests that employer's like applicants who:
Stay calm and relaxed. There is a direct relationship
between how relaxed you are and how confident you appear to a
prospective employer. Remember that interviewing is a mutual
process. You are interviewing the company just as much as they
are interviewing you. Relax and enjoy it!
Bring Samples of Work. If you don't have any start
calling your old employer and get them. Always keep at least one
ally at your previous employment; you never know when you will
need something. Before you leave, create a portfolio and make
copies of your work but omit confidential business information.
Do their Research. Do some research on the business
before the interview. Know what you are getting yourself into by
researching the culture and working environment. Have an
understanding of
the issues faced by the company.
Appear calm and confident. First impressions are lasting
and made in first 30-120 seconds of an interview. Present
yourself well from the start be confident friendly and polite.
Greet the prospective employer with a handshake. Make regular
eye contact.
Ask Questions. Never leave an interview without asking
at least 3 questions. Have a number of questions that you have
complied beforehand and use them at the appropriate moment.
Listen attentively. Listen carefully to the questions
asked. Ask the interviewer to restate a question if you are
confused. Or if you need time to think of an answer just ask
"How do you mean?" this will buy you time and will provide
additional information.

yourself the best chance of interview success. Goog job hunting!
