| Win your interviewer over before the interview |
|
According to Sun Tzu, a war is won before it even starts. We all know that your actions in an interview is very important. But in fact, the importance of the preparation before the interview is the first thing you should not neglect. Here are some suggestion. 1. Research the company and the job description before you interview, as your interviewer will likely ask what you know about the company and why you want the job. It also helps you to formulate questions about the company and job. 2. Practice answering common questions interviewers ask. Use the mirror if available. 3. Prepare to negotiate salary by having a range in mind and studying the techniques. 4. Remember to pack relevant documents such as extra resumes and reference lists, letters of recommendation, and so on. Bring at least one pen and pencil, and a notepad too. 5. Comb or brush your hair, and dress appropriately. Even if you know that the company dress is business-casual, dress up anyway. It shows professionalism and respect. 6. Arrive five to ten minutes early for the interview. This shows that you are eager and punctual. But don't arrive more than ten minutes early, as it might be inconvenient for your interviewers. Definitely don't be late! 7. Turn off your cell phone, pager, PDA alarms and other devices that might interrupt your interview. |
