During the Interview Proper - admin - 03-23-2009 08:22 PM

* Introduce yourself in a courteous manner.
* Have a firm handshake.
* Stand straight and make eye contact.
* Sit erect and lean forward in the chair, to show your interest.
* Be a good listener as well as a good communicator.[hide]
* Be prepared to answer open-ended questions, like, "Tell me about yourself".
* Keep in mind the product you are selling is you. Give them reasons to buy, by emphasizing what you can bring to the organization.
* Talk about specific achievements.
* Don't answer with a simple "yes" or "no". Explain whenever possible.
* Don't make derogatory remarks about your present or former employers.
* Plan to ask questions. Asking questions gives you the opportunity to show your interest & gives you the opportunity to find out if this Company is the right place for you.
* Don't smoke, even if you are invited to. Don't chew gum.
* Never inquire about salary, vacations or bonuses, in the initial interview. You will be in a stronger position once they decide to hire you.
* At the end of the interview, ask about the next step in the process.
* Later, you may be asked to come in for a second interview and sometimes a third interview. Apply same tips as above & be consistent in your answers with the answers you gave in the first interview.
* Thank the interviewer.
* Always Follow Up with a Thank-You Letter to everyone you have spoken to. [hide]
* If you haven't heard from the employer within the time frame given to you at the interview, follow up with a call, note or email.
