Tips That Makes A Difference in Interview

You know that you are the best candidate for the position, but does the recruiter think so too? Here are five things to help you from falling flat on your face during an interview: Grooming and Etiquette In reality, the first few minutes of the interview determine if you are going to get hired. The rest of the time is spent in validating and justifying the decision already made. In other words, the impression you create when you walk through the door counts the most. Your appearance speaks much to the recruiter about your personality, competence and professionalism. Basic hygiene includes dressing appropriately, punctuality, a firm handshake etc. Dress professionally even if the company encourages casual dressing. Do not express negativity about your previous employer Unkind remarks about your last employer or colleagues is viewed as an inability to work get along with co-workers and seniors. Dealing with bad managers or employees is an experience we will encounter, but don't mention it. The reason for leaving your last job should be positive. Growth or better opportunities are reasons you could mention. In general, avoid creating an impression of being unhappy at your last workplace. Research, research, research Do your homework on the company's business. Gather information about products, competitors, opportunities as well as industry data and make sure that you bring it up during the interview. Researching the company background proves to the recruiter that you are seriously interested in the job you have applied for. The interviewer may also interpret this as a sign that you could be a worthy contributor to organizational goals. Encourage Two-way Communication Doing all the talking in the interview will never benefit you. Keep your responses brief and concise. This shows confidence, poise and intelligence. You could engage the interviewer with questions based on your understanding of their business. Listen and then respond appropriately. However, directing a barrage of questions at the interviewer could be annoying. Never interrupt the interviewer; let him complete his sentences. Money Matters If there has been no communication during the interview about hiring, then do not discuss salary. Hold your horses about questions of salary and benefits during the first interview. Salary should be discussed only if specifically asked. Delaying these discussions would be in your best interest; you will have the opportunity to negotiate a higher salary when you're sure they want you.
