How to Succeed in an Interview
To be successful in a job interview, you should demonstrate your personal and professional qualities. You need to create a good image within a limited time available, usually from 30 to 45 minutes. Leaving an unforgettable impression upon the interview, in short, you should present your most attractive qualities through out the interview. You should, for example, take care to wear clean and suitable clothes, so that you look very well-groomed. It is not right if you wear too elaborate or too casual tie. Clothes which are too elaborate, too colorful and too expensive suggest that you don’t understand what behavior is appropriate for the job, or either you are snobbish or flavorless. Clothes which are too casual may convey the impression that you are not serious about the job or that you maybe casual about your work, just as you are about your dress. The right clothes worn on the right occasion, however, would give a good feeling of you in the interview and help win his favorable judgement of you. The saying that clothes make a man may not be true, but the first impression of you has much to do with the clothes you wear.
Besides care for personal appearance, you should pay particular attention to your manner of speaking and to the quality of your speech. As your speech reflects your qualities, you should show your confidence by speaking in a clear voice, which is loud enough to be heard, without sounding aggressive or over powering. Surely it would not do you if you speak with many romantic errors. It is not only inappropriate, but also may cause embarrassment to the employer if you speak a dialect. Although there are cultural differences with respect to the formality of the job interview, it is essential to see to it that your speech shows that you are a very friendly and pleasant person. Of course, it is very important that your answers be practical.
Above all, it’s quite necessary for you to emphasize your outstanding qualities, strong specialized knowledge and skills as well as personal interests. Also, you are supposed to tell your academic specifications and to point out your professional achievement and your special tongues. It goes without saying that it is not easy at all to succeed in a job interview. As an applicant, you have to make full preparations for it. There are many factors which contribute to a successful interview. But if you act on the above mentioned points, you’ll be well on the way to success.
