Investigation Interview Technique Method 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.
Dating the information in your work history in the wrong order makes your resume harder to follow. Remember to talk about yourself, but do not get too personal. It shows that you are on top of things, and have prepared before hand. They need to know that you wont ruffle any feathers when you are hired. Your general personality traits are monitored during this time. |
