Remember to follow all
steps and protocols that hiring manager or someone else is trying to deliver.
When you sit to the chair, try to let the interviewer sit first or let them
offer you to sit. Afterwards, put your documents and resume on the table, make
sure to bring some extra resume in hard copies. Therefore, they can keep it for
themselves or give them to assistants who are sitting in the same room with
you. Put your suitcase right next to you on the floor, don’t hold it because it
might seem like you are making a barrier towards them or afraid of stealing it
from you. You should sit a foot away from the table, so you can control your
own zone and make a comfort for both sides.
Express
Emotion
Show emotion and smile
during the conversation, but furrow your brow if you’re talking about the issue
that you have experienced before. The job interview is always tough and tense,
so the nervous smile is better than no smile at all. The interviewer always
knows how nervous you are, but the smile can represent your relaxation.
Moreover, your facial expression can tell how sociable and friendly you are,
and that is the reason how to cement your bond.
Voice
and Tone
Speaking in a clear and
controlled voice conveys confidence. Try to control your tone without pitch,
and speak coherently with the right tone. During your speech there must be a pause
and taking a deep breath to carry on your speech. Don’t overdo it because the
interviewer might get uncomfortable and will get rid of you as soon as
possible. Thus, the right tone and timing will show your confidence and
honesty.
Receiving
Messages
It is always crucial to
understand what message the interviewer is trying to deliver. Preparing for
your job interview includes not only knowing what to say but how to say it and
understand the counterpart. Always try to own the space, be confident and give
enough personal space to the interviewer. Don’t be out of topic, and try to be
interested in details which you are talking, so you will not have to be concern
about signals like leaning head to one side, crossing arms or leaning away from
your interviewer. However, when you receive a bad signal, you should ask the
interviewer a question if they want to ask you something or did you mention
everything.
interesting and engaging posts with relevant images. thanks for sharing, I enjoyed reading your posts.
ReplyDeleteHello Anh~
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy reading your post. You are having a very informative and interesting blog so far! These points which we should follow during a job interview are very helpful. A job interview is very important for every person in order to get a job what you dream about. In my opinion, what is also important is to know as many information as you can about the company what you want to work for. This takes a great impression on the interviewer. What is more, a dress code is necessary when the job position is a business position. Showing respect and effort that you take this interview seriously is important as well.
Great job and looking forward to read more posts in a future!

Hi Anh~
ReplyDeleteGreat post! It is appropriate, helpful, and concise. It provides the basic advices about how to react properly during the job interview. For me, it is very helpful and I will try to use it in my future job interviews and I hope it will help me. You are writing here also about the emotions. I think that emotions, especially those negative, may sometimes create problems during serious situations such as job interviews. Bad weather, arguing before the interview, or bad state of mind might cause serious problems during the interview. The interviewee might react inappropriately, and might not be concentrated. So, the interviewer can evaluate that the candidate will not be beneficial for the company. All in all, I believe that controlling the emotive energy is one of the most important components of being successful and achieving the set goals, both in profession and personal life.
