| How to prepare for an interview The Essentials in Preparing for an Interview First impression lasts. This is very true in most aspects of life, especially in job interviews. How you look is fifty-percent of whether you will get the job or not. Before going out there with your best suit and briefcase in hand, ask yourself if you are dressing appropriately for the job you are interviewing for. If you are applying as a kindergarten teacher, a more logical outfit would be casual slacks and a good sweater. If however, you are being interviewed for the position of vice-president for sales of a multi-national company, then the attire is just right. Always remember to dress according to the job you are applying for. The cardinal rule in dressing is: always keep it simple. You don’t want to wear tons of jewelry that will probably distract the interviewer. He might even think that you don’t need the job since you can afford all those expensive things. Choose solid colors and stay out of colorful prints. Black is always a good choice and a simple white shirt will project a calm and professional image. You don’t need to buy new shoes. Your old ones will do but make sure they’re clean and polished. A purse that can fit your resume is a perfect accessory for women and for men, a leather briefcase or a portfolio will be fine. Keep your hair well-combed. For the woman, tying your hair in a bun or ponytail will make you look more put-together. Be sure that your nails are trimmed and clean. When preparing for an interview, always have several of your resumes handy, preferably kept in a folder to avoid creases. Make sure that you have at least the basic information about the company and what they do. And most importantly, always be at least fifteen minutes early for your interview. This way, you can at least collect yourself and avoid looking flustered during your interview. |
