Behavioral Based Interview Questions Resource
Dos and Donts
There are quite a few things that you should do and not do during an interview that could make the whole thing a lot easier for both you and the interviewer. I have listed them quickly in the table below.
Dos Donts
Arrive on time, or better yet 10 minutes early. Be overly aggressive or egotistical
Refer to the interviewer by name. Spend too much time talking about money.
Smile and use a firm handshake. Act uninterested in the company or the job.
Be alert and act interested throughout. Act defensively when questioned about anything.
Maintain eye contact at all times. Speak badly about past colleagues or employers.
Make all comments in a positive manner. Answer with only yes or no.
Speak clearly, firmly, and with authority. Excuse your bad points about work history.
Except any refreshment offered. Excuse yourself halfway through the interview, even if you have to use the bathroom.
Promote your strengths. Ask for coffee or refreshments.
Questions about your ethnicity should not be asked by an interviewer or answered by the person being given the interview. This question also applies to whether or not you have children, your child care plans etc. This is where an employer decides whether or not you are a team player. Being fully stocked with knowledge about the company is a sure fire way to show your enthusiasm. So here is your key to acing a job interview. Things like that will likely get your resume tossed out without a glance. |
