Interviews are all about making a great first impression. You only have a short amount of time to sell yourself to the interviewer and there are a few key points to follow in order to be successful during your interview. These key points include pack (and dress) properly, know your audience, anticipate the questions you’ll be asked- and how to answer them, and get your head in the right place.

In order to make that great first impression, you should make sure you look proper and well groomed. Depending on the type of job you are interviewing for, you should keep your look basic and conservative (The Daily Muse Editor). You should make sure to do little things such as check to see if your clothes any holes in them, keep your nails manicured, and have a fresh haircut and clean shave. The article I have chosen also says to print out five copies of your resume. It is important to have a resume and reference list available to give to the interviewer at all job interviews. A conventional paper resume is very popular and the most fun to prepare (Hamilton, 2014). Always having a resume while going into an interview can make you look more professional, and make it seem like you are serious about the job.

Getting to know your audience is an important part in preparing for the interview. The article says you should research the company before the interview and get a sense of who the company is (The Daily Muse Editor). By doing this, you will be comparing the company’s personality to your own. Another important thing to do is practice answering questions. The most important question you should practice is, “tell me about yourself” (The Daily Muse Editor). Almost all interviewers start off by asking that question, and this could be the hardest question to answer. I agree that you should practice answering questions for the interview, but this could also be a bad thing because it could create anxiety for some people and make them become more nervous going into the interview.

Getting your head in the right place is the step to take right before the interview. Getting a good night of sleep can help with maintaining a positive attitude. This doesn’t mean that you have to alter your attitude, but just be yourself and do the best you can (Hamilton, 2014). Body posture and stance says a lot about you as well. When going into an interview, make sure your body posture is proper and don’t sit with your legs crossed (The Daily Muse Editor). Think about your movements a head of time because thinking about them during the interview can be distracting.

Interviewers base their decisions on first impressions. If an interviewee came in poorly groomed, the interviewer might look at them and think they have a low-self concept (Hamilton, 2014). Nonverbal behaviors play a huge part on impressing the interviewer. The interviewer looks for candidates who smile, maintain direct eye contact and also have high positive energy (Hamilton, 2014). There are three things an interviewer remembers most after the interviewee is gone. These three things include eye contact, appearance, and facial expressions. Interviewers look for candidates who are confident and know they are serious about the job. Companies only look for the best people to work for them which is why people should create a higher standard for themselves at the time of a job interview.

Explanation / Answer

I agree to the above points mentioned about what to do and what not to do in an interview. However i would like to focus on some tips for successful interview :

1. Show up in the office five minutes before your appointment time. Although that sentence looks simple enough, it has two powerful and often overlooked components: “in the office” and “five minutes.” This does not mean park five minutes before the interview or get in the building security line with five minutes to spare. It means walk through the office or suite door five minutes before your appointment.

While it is crystal clear why running late or cutting it close are not good strategies, the same goes for walking into the office more than five minutes early. Not every company has a huge lobby or waiting area. Arriving too early may mean that you are staring at the person who will interview you and have now obligated him or her to start your meeting earlier than planned.

If you arrive earlier than intended, hang outside the building or even in the bathroom before your ideal time. The extra few minutes will give you time to prepare and ensure that you don’t impose on your interviewer.

2. Do not, under any circumstances, bring a coffee beverage to the interview. I know it is increasingly common to walk everywhere with some sort of coffee drink in hand, but never bring one to an interview. While you may get lucky and the interviewer or receptionist may offer you a coffee or water at the office, do not bring your own beverage.

It is, however, totally OK to have a small bottle of water neatly stashed in a briefcase or bag out of sight. Interviewing is nerve-wracking, and a well-timed sip of water can work wonders for dry, pasty interview mouth.

3. Look great. For you well-dressed people, I'm sure you're rolling your eyes at those two words, because you assume everyone knows that. However, after interviewing thousands of people for more than 20 years, I can assure you that the majority of job seekers are not fully aware of the impact of their image.

Having a great image does not require expensive outfits. It means selecting clothing, accessories, makeup and a hairstyle that command respect in your targeted industry. To portray this image, you have to think about the fit of the clothes, make sure they are wrinkle- and stain-free, look modern and are both age- and profession-appropriate.

Also consider fragrance, or lack thereof. A very light neutral scent, like baby powder or vanilla, can work well, but anything stronger could be an issue if the interviewer doesn’t have the same preferences as you.

4. Arrive prepared. Bring a pen, notebook or portfolio with paper, several résumé copies and a list of questions you would like to ask the interviewer. Many interviews start first with a request for your résumé. Removing a neat, unfolded version from your notebook is an excellent first step.

Next, all interviewers like to know that they have said something useful enough for you to write it down. Jot notes throughout the meeting, no matter how positive you are that you will remember everything. Writing not only tells the interviewer you value her input, but it also gives both of you a break from staring at one another. Furthermore, it can give you a chance to glance at the notes you prepared before the meeting regarding key strengths you want to reference or questions you want to ask.

Finally, remember to look up at least as much as you look at the paper. Writing notes is important, but active eye contact tells the hiring authority you are paying attention.

5. Have a conversation. The best interviews are a give and take. Come prepared to discuss the company, the role, your background, current trends in the industry, the reason for the opening and any recent business events that may impact the interviewer, role, company or industry. Companies want to hire engaged employees who have taken the time to learn about themselves and the roles for which they are applying.

Without this critical preparation, most interviews are merely one-sided exchanges in which the interviewer asks questions and the candidate responds to the question but cannot expand beyond it. The ability to have fluid conversation conveys preparation, intelligence, people skills, active listening and a commitment to your career. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to display these traits in the meeting.

Interview selection is more about how the interviewer feels about you than about how well you can do the job. That is not to say that you don’t need to be qualified – you do need to be in the ballpark. However, many highly qualified people get rejected because they do not clearly convey how they are an ideal (and likeable) match for the role. While it is important to display your business qualifications, it is even more important to create the right impression.
