Interview guidelines

[jsmith]

Hi all job seekers there,if you are actively seeking job ,just go through these points, for a better interview.

1.Arrive a little early. Arrive about fifteen minutes before the scheduled interview time.

2. Do your homework. Know the interviewer's name and how to pronounce it (including proper title: Mr., Mrs., Dr., etc.). Know the company's major products or services, the organization of the company (divisions, parent company, etc.)

3. Bring a Spare Copy of Your Resume in a Briefcase or Folder.

4. Try to relax and become comfortable with the interviewer.

5. Maintain an open body posture and appropriate eye contact. Seat yourself at a reasonable distance from the other person.

6. Don't Be Embarrassed by Nervousness. Interviewers are human, and they often become nervous, too. In fact, nervousness is a good sign - it shows that you are taking the interview seriously.

7. Body language is powerful!. Good eye contact, a warm, natural smile and a firm handshake can help you overcome nervousness, develop a personal rapport and present a confident image. Don't Play Comedian or Try to Entertain the Interviewer. It is important to be personable, but do not overdo it.

8. Don't Exaggerate or Lie.

9. Follow the Interviewer's Lead. Don't try to take over the interview.

10. Be Prepared For Personal Questions, Even Some Inappropriate Ones. Anticipate how you will handle personal questions without blowing your cool
11. Also don't forget to prepare a good resume.

Hello,
You have provided good interview tips.The point "don't overdue" is very correct. Confident body language, appropriate communication with the interviewer is very much needed if you want to successfully crack the interview, but if you overdue it then all your efforts will yield you nothing. Over confidence can take you no where. Being calm and polite is the key factor. Your attitude during the job interview should not be
over-powering.

Also you should be ready for any types of personal questions. Once one of my friend was asked a question "if you were a vegetable, then which vegetable you would be and why?" I guess personal interview questions are asked only to see your wittiness and how you deal with an unusual and unexpected situation.
Thanks.

It helps to be prepared with answers to the most commonly asked interview questions too like "tell me about yourself", "Why this job" etc. Useful tips to answer these can be found here:
