DURING A JOB INTERVIEW

Make a Good First Impression.

The first minutes from the moment you arrive to the interview will define much of the final outcome of it. Act professional; be positive, self-assured and energetic. You need to sell your image as the image of someone who is above the challenges of the position and ready to assume responsibilities.

Some tips for you to keep in mind:

-  Never be late, matter of fact arrive at least 10 minutes early to your interview. Organize everything the day before so you don´t have any last-minute problems.

-  Look good, choose the suit/clothes that suit you the best for the occasion, and have everything ready the night before the interview.

-  Do not forget the firm handshake that shows you are a confident person, and remember to keep eye contact.

-  Mind your body language, the way you sit, talk, use your hands and what you look at. It is easy to get a strong impression out of body language.

-  Do not ask the wrong questions, salary and benefits are things the interviewer will bring into the conversation at some point; it would not look good if you do it yourself.

-  Look friendly, be friendly. It is important not to look too serious; seriousness is not the same as professional.

-  No negative talk. If the conversation about your previous job and boss comes up be sober, do not look offended, angry or disappointed no matter what the reason you stopped working there was.

-  Listen all the time, and remember that a lot of information you pay attention to in the beginning of the interview can help you structure questions and more accurate answers in the end.
