Exit 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.
You should never address your cover letter with To whom it may Concern or Dear Sir/Madame it is unprofessional and doesnt show a genuine interest in the company or the job. It is harder for the recruiter to read and makes the task take too long. Be prepared to answer questions if you have such gaps in yours. Be certain to dress appropriately for the job that you are applying for. You get these skills by learning your craft in an accredited school through specialized training, work experience, attaining a degree, and internships. Your arrest record is information that doesnt have to be answered. |
