The Job Interview

On the other hand, if you make a bad impression, chances are you will not be offered the position, no matter how good your qualifications.

During the interview, the employer tries to determine how well you are qualified to fulfill the requirements of the job. At the same time, the interview allows you the opportunity to assess whether or not the job is right for you, and to demonstrate how your skills or qualifications can be a positive asset to the employer.

Advice how to behave at an interview

1. Make sure you have turned your mobile phone off before you get to the building - this can be a BIG mistake.

2. First impressions count, so it is important you are not rude to the receptionist and you are polite and friendly to everyone you come into contact. Introduce yourself to the person who greets. When you meet the Interviewer, give them a firm handshake and smile at all times.

3. Answer all questions after carefully thinking about the answers - do not rush into blurting out the answers.

4. With every answer, attempt to have practical examples so you can highlight your skills and abilities through what you have actually done. Give explanations to your answers.

5. Never be negative about previous employers or people you have worked with in the past, as this will not make you look good. Try to be positive in every way.

6. At the end, thank them for their time and say you look forward to hearing from them. Ask them when they think they will be making decisions and when you will be likely to hear from them.
