Interview Tips for
Job Applicants:
INTERVIEW ETIQUETTE IS ESSENTIAL
This parallels to your dress code and other paraphernalia
you bring to the interview. Be smart, first impressions are
important Also, make sure you have a pen and paper handy to
jot down notes and questions, you do not need to stress
yourself fumbling around for these things during the
interview.
GET DETAILED DIRECTIONS TO THE COMPANY
You must eliminate unnecessary anxiety before the interview.
Also, try to arrive 15-30 minutes earlier than the scheduled
time of the interview. Use this time to go over the company
information. Check in at reception about 5 minutes before
the interview. Smile and relax. Remember to shake hands with
your interviewer, and hold your head up high – you are
worthy.
BODY AND OTHER LANGUAGE
Speak slowly and precisely. If you are not sure of a
question ask the interviewer to rephrase it. Maintain eye-
contact, do not fold your arms, and remain open and
approachable. Be honest. Sell yourself. Your aim is to paint
a brilliant picture in a short period of time so do not
ramble on or offer unnecessary information. When it comes to
the point when they want you to ask questions be choosy.
Good questions to ask include what are my duties? Who will I
report to? Will be working in a team? It is important to ask
questions that parallel to your “potential” new role in the
company. In other words it is not all about what you want or
need but rather what you can offer the company. Salary and
other benefits are not first interview questions. If the
salary issue comes up, rather ask for a fair- market related
salary or deflect the issue completely by saying, “my
recruitment agent has my salary details”. In the long run it
is better to play the waiting game on this issue, as this
gives the company time to realize your value as well as
allowing you to calculate the long term potential or
benefits this job has for you. The crux here is that you do
not want to come across greedy and would rather indicate
that you are more interested in how you could contribute to
a companies potential and not fixated on the monetary value
they assign to you.
BE YOURSELF
It makes no sense to pretend that you are someone you are
not. You have nothing to lose by being yourself. In fact,
you have more to gain, especially in terms of ensuring you
are going for the right job.
