Your First Impression
First impressions can be a hard thing to get past in any situation. During an interview you want to give the best first impression that you can. There are many small things that you can do to assure that you give the best impression possible. They are as follows:
You can never be too polite to the person that directs to your waiting area when waiting to be interviewed. A small gesture like, asking how they are doing can work wonders for you when you leave the building later.
While waiting to be interviewed, sit properly and behave as if everyone passing you by is your potential interviewer. (They just might be) Smile at people as much as possible. Do not act impatient or bored, it sends the wrong message. Some interviewers will keep you waiting just to see how you handle yourself.
Greet you interviewer with a firm handshake and a smile.
Remain standing until your interviewer asks you to be seated. It is simply polite and shows proper etiquette.
Again, dress according to the type of job that you are applying for.
Show yourself to be well organized, by having all things needed for the interview.
While waiting do not eat or drink anything.
Dont chat on your cell phone while waiting for your interviewer. It makes you look distracted.
Great preparation for the interview is your best bet. When you are trying to work out the proper responses to the interviewers questions, you will also want to practice the art of getting your nerves under control as well as ridding yourself of any other odd habits while talking; like expressing yourself with your hands. Just imagine what you would be thinking if you were speaking to him and he was looking all over the room. That could be the difference between getting an interview and just taking an extra trip for nothing. Your appearance is sort of the cover letter. |

| Your Resume This may seem like an unimportant thing during an interview, but this is the sole reason why you may get that interview so you should be prepared with a well written resume.
