Interviews Dos & Don’ts By Jennifer Opper Business Education 9-12 th grade

Dress appropriately All employers look for neat, clean, and well- groomed people. Men should wear a suit, tie, and dress shoes. Women should wear a suit, stockings, and dress shoes with minimum make-up, jewelry, and perfume. Remember it is better to overdress than to be too casual.

Be on time Arrive early. Don’t be late. This is the interviewer’s first impression of you. If you arrive just a few minutes late, the interviewer will automatically see you in a negative way. It is quite difficult to overcome a negative first impression. Be sure to leave extra time for traffic and for unexpected emergencies.

Bring extra copies of your resume You may need extra copies if you are asked to interview with more than one person. Carry them in a professional binder so they will stay clean and neat.

Be aware of body language Try to look energetic. Give a firm handshake upon meeting the interviewer. Maintain eye contact, but don’t stare. Display good posture. Don’t forget to smile. These nonverbal actions show that you are interested in being there.

Give qualitative answers Avoid answering questions using “yes” or “no”. Employers want to know what you can offer the company. Give examples of your past performance because it is the best indicator of your future performance. Make sure to speak positively of all past employers and experiences.

Emphasize your strengths Let the employer know that you are reliable and/or that you have great communication skills. The interview process is about selling yourself and what better way than to market what you do best.

Be honest Never exaggerate or lie about your past experiences. If your grade point average is not as high as you would like or you don’t have any extra-curricular activities, admit that these are weaknesses that you are trying to improve. Lying about your past would only cause distress in the future. Most of the time, employers will verify your background

Ask questions Remember that you already know what questions to ask because you are prepared. Ask the questions that you have practiced and any questions that you have thought of while being interviewed.

Remain calm Avoid nervous habits such as tapping your foot, playing with your hair, or biting your nails. Remaining confident will prove to the interviewer that you are secure in your abilities to do the job.

Close the job interview positively Make sure to thank the interviewer for his or her time and shake the interviewer’s hand. Don’t forget to let him or her know that you look forward to hearing from the company soon. Express your interest in the position.
