During The Interview: Manners
Speak positively about yourself and others.
• Use body language to show interest.
Be gentle and courteous. Seek permission before entering the
room, wait for the employer to offer you a seat. Extend a warm hand if offered a handshake, otherwise take your seat.
Mrs.Najam-un-Nissa
Body Language
Remain relaxed and calm. Avoid fidgeting in your seat, because that shows low confidence.
Biting your lips is often interpreted as a sign that you're unsure of what you're saying. Avoid it.
Be aware of your hand gestures and don't use your hands to make a point. It distracts and conveys a negative impression.
Use an open posture -- don't sit with your hands crossed or your legs crossed.
Mrs.Najam-un-Nissa
Body Language
Mrs.Najam-un-Nissa
Shrugging your shoulders in response to a question is always a no-no. If you're unsure of what to say, take a few seconds to think of a response.
Nodding or shaking your head does not constitute an answer to a question. Use verbal replies.
Avoid yawning in front of the interviewer. Get enough sleep the previous night. Be fresh and alert at meetings.
Mrs.Najam-un-Nissa
Dealing with tricky interview questions
1. Define yourself. (Usually an initial question, an ice-breaker )
2. What do you know about organization/company?
3. Why should we hire you?
4. What do you find most/least attractive about this position?(? Why are you better than other candidates that came before you and ones that are going to come after you? )
5. Why do you want to work for us?
6. What do you look for in a job?
7. How long will you stay with us?
8. What are your interests outside of work?
9. What is your salary expectation?
