Tips for your next INTERVIEW!

 

1. Do not be late! be there earlier so you can look around and study the environment first. let your mind get used to the new environment and prepare yourself for the worst.

 

2. Better munch on something before you go for the interview especially if you’re asked to be there at 8am! the last thing you want to happen is the interviewer hearing your stomach grrroooorrrrrr!!!

 

3. Do your homework! Learn abt the company thru their website or thru friends. Know who is in charge; chairman, managing Director, his ex position, etc. Worst thing that could happen is you demoting him in front of him. Eg. Vice Chancellor demoted to Deputy Vice Chancellor, being said with that look on your face, like my confident look.

 

4. You got to be confident. Just talk and talk about your work experiences.. have no fear. Your honesty might just get you a job. Smile

 

5. Be prepared with questions like your strengths and weaknesses, qualities which made you think you’re the right candidate for the job!if you don’t know yourself, try google it. Google has loads of answers. TRUST ME on that! (eheeemm… im still self-exploring!)

 

6. Dress to impress! wear your best outfit and make an entrance. The interviewer might have went through so many candidates and maybe your best image will help them remember you!

 

7. Mind your body language. Do not lean towards the chair and start moving around! tats just stupid! Mind your hand gestures as well.

 

8. Most importantly, confidence! Be confident, even if you don’t know the answer. Just say whatever that comes to ur mind (well, you got to filter a bit). they would prefer someone who try to sell himself/herself rather than someone who don’t even bother trying!

 

9. Never ask the interview to comment on how you performed earlier during the interview. That’s just cocky!

 

10. Last but not least, Im not a person you should refer to for this tips cos ive just committed some mistakes which I shouldn’t have!
