Good Questions to Ask Employers

Page 5: How to dress, act, and prepare for your interview. 1 Add a title for the presentation

An upright, confident posture reflects your sense of self-worth.

Eye contact shows you are listening and are interested in what the interviewer has to say.

A smile shows that are you relaxed and confident. Keep your facial expressions friendly, calm, relaxed, and positive.

A firm handshake conveys that you are professional and enthusiastic. Avoid a weak or overly aggressive handshake.

Slide 5On the next slide, fill it with pictures of interviews taking place.

What Is Said Without Words

Page 7: How to dress, act, and prepare for your interview. 1 Add a title for the presentation

Leaning slightly forward toward the interviewer conveys that you are interested. Leaning back can give the opposite impression.

Be aware of the interviewer’s body language to help you sense when you are losing the person’s attention or when you are going into too much detail.

Look at the interviewer. Don’t stare at the wall, ceiling, or your lap. Making eye contact shows the interviewer you are interested.

Keep a pleasant smile. Speak clearly and loud enough to be heard. Let the interviewer lead the discussion.

Ms. Judith Samson

Goodright Company

117 Main Street

Oceanport, CA 94702

Dear Ms. Samson,

Thank you for taking the time yesterday to talk with me about the maintenance job with Goodright Company. The information you provided was very helpful.

During my interview, we discussed my experience as a carpenters assistant with the Built-It Construction Company last summer. However, I didn’t have the opportunity to mention the plumbing and electrical systems classes iv taken at the Mountain County Area Career/Technical School. I believe the skills l’ve learned in theses classes have prepared me for many of the maintenance tasks I would perform if employed by your company.

I am excited about the possibility of joining your company , and, if offered the job, I will do my best to be a good employee. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely ,

Michael King

Slide 14

“Food for Thought” 1. Assume that you

applied for a job but were not selected for the position. Should you abandon

your efforts to obtain a job with that particular employer? Why or why not?

2. What can you gain from seeking an evaluation of your interview performance from an interviewer who rejected you?

3. In what ways is each interview a learning experience?
