What Interviewers Look For: The 3 C’s Confidence Credibility Competence

Step 1: Do Your Homework » Research » Ask around » Check it Out

THE INTERVIEW

The Interview as a Means of Communication Communication Model What gets in the way? Impression Formation

The Communication Process

Step 3: Make a Great First Impression You Never Get a Second Chance to Make a First Impression.

Non-verbal Communication Channels of non-verbal communication Eye contact Facial Expressions Body Posture/Gestures Touching

Underutilized Non-Verbal Communication Techniques Listening Silence!

Establish Credibility Expertise and/or Trust 3 Credibility Factors: Words, Voice, Appearance

Step 5: Answering Questions RESPOND, don’t REACT (don’t make excuses, focus on strengths) Be Brief and To-the-Point “Rule of Three” (show your skills, experience, competence)

Common Interviewer Questions What would your supervisor tell me about you? Tell me about a recent mistake you’ve made on your job and how you handled it. What are your strengths? Weaknesses? What are your future goals? Why should we hire you? Why do you want to leave your current job? What is your ideal work environment?

Illegal Interview Questions Educate yourself about illegal questions. Be prepared to handle them diplomatically. – What is your race? – Are you married? – How old are you? – What is your religion? – Have you ever filed bankrupcy? – Do you have a disability? – Are you a US citizen?

Step 6: Asking Questions Take Your Time / Relax / Breathe Follow-up on issues raised (due to listening) Reference your research / homework

Sample Candidate Questions What’s the process for filling the position? What’s the culture in this office/dept? What’s the biggest challenge right now? What do YOU like best about your job? What do YOU like least?

Step 7: FOLLOW UP…after the Interview Critique Yourself (easy does it…there’s good news) Send a Thank You note (next day) Set follow-up reminder (1 week)
