How To Conduct Yourself At The Interview
How To Conduct Yourself At The Interview by JobCareerAdvice
Your cover letter dazzled them, your resume is the best the Hiring Manager has ever seen and all your efforts have paid off because now you've been offered the interview. The final hurdle.
Let's agree the majority of people going for an interview will be nervous, scared and apprehensive. But they are no reasons for not conducting yourself in a proper way and being polite. Put yourself in the shoes of the Hiring Manager.
Do you want someone sitting opposite you:
* with their hands in their pockets
* with no eye contact
* mumbling their answers
* telling offensive jokes
You wouldn't and nor would I.
It's easy to conduct yourself well and be polite.
To give yourself an advantage over others follow these polite practices:
Arrive ahead of time.
It's bad manners to walk into an interview after the agreed start time. It really annoys me and the applicant will have to be outstanding to win the job. Of course, there are going to be times when circumstances are outside of your control. If that were to happen, I would suggest you call ahead and let the Hiring Manager know you are going to be late. But always aim to arrive at least ten minutes early so you can freshen up, catch your breath, sit quietly in the lobby reviewing your notes.
Listen and Focus.
Focus your mind and take in what the interviewer is saying. If you miss a detail or don't understand what is said, ask politely for it to be repeated. It may help to have a small notepad and pen in your hand. (You can enter the interview with a pen and notepad. You can have your personal work experience examples written down. The interview is not a memory test - you can have a pad of notes to refer to).
Jot down items that are of importance to you while the interviewer is speaking. You might even tell the interviewer ahead of time that you'll be taking notes because you don't want to miss anything. Ask if that is OK? I do. That too, is a sign of good manners. You're letting the other person know that you're serious about the job in question.
Maintain good eye contact.
How does it feel when you are talking to someone who just won't look at you? Horrible! Untrusting! So make sure you do maintain eye contact with the Hiring Manger, as it is not only polite, it's good business practice. It assures the other person of your sincerity and genuine interest. And it will remind him or her to return the eye contact.
Say thank you.
At the close of the interview, be sure to shake hands, smile and express how much you appreciate the time and the information you received.
Remember, everyone likes to be acknowledged and thanked. Those who express gratitude will not be forgotten because it is so rare for people today to share genuine thanks. Then follow up with a thank you note in your handwriting.
For example:
Thank you for taking the time to discuss the position of xxxxxx with me. After meeting with you and getting the opportunity to see and hear more about your plans for the future of xxxxxx, I was certainly impressed.
I am convinced that my experience and customer service skills coincide well with your needs and in addition, I can promise to bring the commitment and enthusiasm that are so important in a position such as this.
I look forward to hearing from you concerning your decision of the hiring process and, once again, thank you for your time and consideration.
Simple and to the point.
That will seal the deal and give you a good chance of winning a second interview--or even the job itself.
So make sure you overcome the final hurdle of the interview, keep your conduct professional and are offered the job.

Tips for a Successful Interview
Tips for a Successful Interview by Steve McMains
People often get nervous in the name of job interview.It does not make any sense.Interviews might seem tough but they can be made enjoyable with the right approach. An interview is a good opportunity for both the employer and the employee to judge each other.While you go for an interview remember that the employer not only looks for your academic background and your skill but the qualities that are needed for the vacant post.
Whether it is an individual interview or a group discussion try to highlight the qualities within you that will help you to stand out in the crowd.Take time to greet and answer the questions with honesty,confidence and enthusiasm.Don't be afraid. It is your chance to prove yourself so make the most of it with a few simple tips.
Dress Properly
Before going for an interview be well prepared and remember the basic things.First of all you should be dressed properly. Your look matters a lot as far as first impression is concerned.Always wear a formal dress while going for an interview. Your dress should be clean and ironed and your shoes should be polished.
Carry Several Resumes
Spend much time over resume writing as it creates the first impression.Go through the ad thoroughly and write the resume according to the requirements.When you go for an interview never forget to carry the hard copy of your resume.Always carry more than one resumes because you don't know how many rounds will be there.You might need to submit your resume more than ones.
Reach Early
If your interview time is 10 am you should reach the office at 9:50 am.You should always arrive at the interview venue 10 minutes early.It will create a good impression and show that you are punctual.It is unnecessary to say that punctuality is a quality that every organization looks for in its employees.
Know About the Company
Many of the candidates go for the interview without knowing anything about the company.This is a wrong approach.You should research about the company before the interview.Ask relevant questions to show that you show that you know the business,target market,clients,objectives and goals of the company.
Body Language
During an interview the employer not only judges your skills and capabilities but also your body language and attitude. He/she will see whether you can also contribute to the cultural environment of the company.So sit with a smiling face and your arms and legs uncrossed.Make eye contact and listen carefully what the interviewer is saying.
Ask About the Company Benefits
You don't need to hesitate to ask about the benefits offered by the company.However ask about the salary and other facilities at the end.After all you are not going to do social service.
Close the Interview with a Positive Note
Close the interview very strongly.End it with a firm handshake.Don't forget to get a business card of the employer to send him/her a thank you note.You should also let him/her know that it was a good experience for you.Your positive attitude will surely leave a good impression.
You have as much power as the employer.Believe in yourself.Follow these tips and you will find preparing for a job interview is not that tough.

Interview Red Flags: Ever Felt Like THESE People? (I Have!)
Interview Red Flags: Ever Felt Like THESE People? (I Have!) by J.T. O'Donnell
I saw this video a while back and couldn't stop laughing. I don't know if it's the kid doing the interview, the one over-the-top guy that connects with him about a monkey mug, or how crazy the interview questions are, but I guarantee anyone that's ever interviewed for jobs has felt the way these interviewees felt at least once. It takes everything in our power not to want to get up and leave an interview that is going wrong, and yet, we stay in hopes of getting the offer. Why do we want the job so bad? Shouldn't red flags be waving wildly through our heads that we should chalk it up to a bad fit and move on? Nope. Instead, something inside us says, "I just got to get this job offer." Well, I say, if it felt wrong in the interview, it's going to feel wrong on-the-job too.
I should know, it happened to me...
Many years ago, I was living at home after college. I graduated in the last recession and the job market was horrible for new grads - just like it is now. I was miserable in my hometown and desperately trying to find a job back in Boston where I went to college. I finally got the call from a small company I had applied to that specialized in translating documents. I had spent a year abroad and spoke French, I also had a degree in Engineering - it was these two points that got me the interview. I should have known the moment I got there that something wasn't right. The first person to interview me was the CFO and he asked me questions like, "How well do you take criticism? Do you have a high tolerance for being yelled at?" He proceeded to explain the owner of the agency was a bit challenging to work with. He defended him by saying he was a very intelligent guy (went to MIT, etc.), but his people skills left something to be desired. I, eager to get out of my hometown, squelched the desire to leave the interview and simply said, "Oh, no problem. I've got really thick skin." I was asked similar questions by the other two managers who interviewed me, but again, instead of being honest, I gave them the answer they wanted to hear.
Finally, I was then ushered in to meet the owner. He was disheveled-looking in clothes that made me wonder if he slept in them. He began asking the most random questions I have ever heard. I was stuck in his office for over an hour while he went on-and-on about with random stories about translation that had no relevance as far as I could tell to the job I would be doing. Once again I should have known, as I finally escaped the interview two hours later, this job was not for me. But, I was young and naive.
The next day they offered me a job - the VERY next day. (C'mon now, who does that?) Yet, I swallowed my concerns and said 'yes,' thinking I could at least stand the job long enough to get settled in Boston and start looking for a new one. What a critical error on my part. The job was a nightmare. The office dynamics I experienced make the ones on the show "The Office" look ideal. There was screaming and crying almost daily. I was so drained leaving there every day, it left me with no energy to look for a new position. My husband was my boyfriend at the time. He felt helpless watching me become depressed. I gained 20 pounds as I tried to eat my problems away.
And then I snapped...
On my year anniversary, I anxiously awaited my paycheck, which was supposed to include my raise. I had been told it was significant and my hard work would be rewarded. I was proud of the fact I had dealt with the male version of Miranda from "The Devil Wears Prada" for 52 weeks. I was sure I would see big $$$. I was making $28,000/year. I opened the check, calculated the increase, and realized I had only gotten a $1000 raise. I imploded. I walked into the CFO's office and resigned. He chased me down the hall, begging me to go home and think about it. He said, "Please! You are the longest person we've ever had in this role!" I returned the next day and said I would stay on, but that was the first day of my last days there. I went on a mission to find a new job. It took four months to find one. When I resigned, the owner wouldn't speak to me and asked me to leave immediately. The employees wouldn't look at me either. I think they just hated the idea I was free.
Taking that job changed the way I looked at interviews for ever. So tell me….what was your worst interview like? Did you accept the job when it got offered to you? How'd it go? Can you relate to what I experienced?

Tips For Getting Ahead in Your Career
Tips For Getting Ahead in Your Career By Tony Jacowski
Think Ahead
Unfortunately many of us don't necessarily plan for the future of our careers. We think about the here and now.
We close our eyes and hope for the best. However, to be really successful - unless you just happen to be lucky - the key to a successful career is to think and plan ahead.
Choose Your Degree Wisely
Majoring in liberal arts or English Lit might sound like more fun, but how will it read in the corporate environment?
A degree in business, math, or science is going to look far more impressive to your employer.
Don't Stop at Your Bachelor's Degree
Online colleges make getting a degree easier than ever. That means more employees will at least have their bachelor's degree.
So, in order to stand out to your employer, you need to go above and beyond a bachelor's degree. Strive to get a master's degree, or even a PhD.
Be Willing To Take the Odd Assignment
Not only do these odd assignments make a great addition to your resume, they tell employers that you are fearless, flexible, and willing to think "outside the box".
Market Yourself Enthusiastically
Telling people how wonderful we are may sound a bit like bragging. And, for many of us, it's one of the most difficult challenges affecting our ability to move ahead in our careers.
But, unless you've got some incredibly unique skill that no one else in the world can do, it's what you must do to have your abilities recognized and to help you stand out above the competition.
Big Cities Is Where It's At
Career-making Meccas like New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Miami are the places to go if you want to see your career move in a positive upwardly-mobile direction.
Not only is there more money to be made working in a big city, the growth opportunities are virtually limitless.
Don't Be Afraid To Change Jobs
While you don't want to look like you're job-hopping by changing jobs too frequently, it's not unusual to find yourself up against a brick wall i.e. a not so good supervisor, or perhaps you're lacking enthusiasm you're your current position.
At any rate, changing jobs can add some pizazz back into your career.

I WILL Get That Job - The Power of Positive Thinking
I WILL Get That Job - The Power of Positive Thinking By Amanda Pavis
If you are going to give your career any chance of success and you want to really make a difference to your job prospects, then you simply have to adopt positive thinking. Every day, every hour, every second, you need to challenge old, negative ways of thinking and start thinking about success.
But isn't that easier said than done? After all if we all thought in a positive way, then we would all still face disappointment as only 1 person can succeed in any job interview?
Well that in itself is a negative way of thinking and it should be eradicated. Instead what you have to focus on is success. Imagine yourself at interview: calm, collected, engaging with the interviewing panel, articulate and charming. Then you need to think about how you will react when you are offered the job.
Always make these images as clear as you can. Focus on what you are wearing, how your voice sounds. Can you make your voice stronger, calmer? Can you make the image stronger?
Concentrate on the image above every day for at least 10-20 minutes. Every day make the image clearer and your voice stronger and so on.
Take time every day to repeat positive affirmations; such as 'I am calm, confident and I succeed'. Repeat these affirmations at least 20 times per day.

If you are going to give your career any chance of success and you want to really make a difference to your job prospects, then you simply have to adopt positive thinking. Every day, every hour, every second, you need to challenge old, negative ways of thinking and start thinking about success.
But isn't that easier said than done? After all if we all thought in a positive way, then we would all still face disappointment as only 1 person can succeed in any job interview?
Well that in itself is a negative way of thinking and it should be eradicated. Instead what you have to focus on is success. Imagine yourself at interview: calm, collected, engaging with the interviewing panel, articulate and charming. Then you need to think about how you will react when you are offered the job.
Always make these images as clear as you can. Focus on what you are wearing, how your voice sounds. Can you make your voice stronger, calmer? Can you make the image stronger?
