Here are some good preparedness tips and tricks for a job interview.
○ Make sure to be all nice and clean, take a shower a few hours before the interview, or the night before.
○ Cologne/Perfume and Deodorant, is very much a good idea! You don't want to smell bad on an interview.
○
Dress nicely, Suits, skirts, anything that is very professional and neat. No T shirts with wholes, or anything.. even if you're on an interview for a construction worker... you must dress well!
○ Research the company, this is important as they may ask you questions about the position and the company...a good tip IF YOU DID NOT DO RESEARCH, just tell them that you did not find much information, but are eager to hear more about the company. I did this once, because I simply did not hear the name of the company, so I just said I knew little and that I was eager to know more. (Which FYI had a completely different background from what I had thought)
○ Make sure you know what you're going to say, they'll probably ask you about previous jobs, why you think you're good for the company. etc..
○ Also usually they ask if you have any questions, make sure to ask at least one thing... this way they know you're interested in the position.
Questions like "What is it like to work here" are okay, but not the best. If they don't tell you what the company is about, then definitely ask what the company is all about and what they do. I'll probably make some kind of post about what to say and not to say.
○Also make sure you're not shy, if you are... just try and put on a smile... if you have to... just put on a great pair of underwear on and think to yourself, I have this great pair of underwear on and you have no idea. This can raise your confidence and can make you smile..
Always fold your hands in front of you, it shows you are listening and also if you fidget with your hands... this will help you not fidget.
○ If the interviewer asks for a beverage, say yes! This can be useful for the interview itself. If you can't think of what to say, you can stall by taking a sip and thinking about what you'll say.
