How To Perform Effectively In A Job Interview

　　Step 1: Dress for Success.

　　Bottom line, you can never be overdressed for a job interview. Unless you hear otherwise, plan on wearing a business suit. Men, wear a tie.

　　Whatever you wear, make sure you will be comfortable in it during the interview, and make sure it's not shabby and wrinkled.

　　Step 2: Bring your Sales Material

　　You are here to represent yourself. Bring multiple copies of your resume, in case more than one person asks for it. Also have a list of personal and professional references on hand if requested.

　　Step 3: Don't be late, be EARLY

　　You should arrive no later than five minutes early to the interview.

　　Being ready in advance—but not too far--always makes a good impression. Heed my advice, children: Never arrive late.

　　Figure out in advance where to park, which elevator to use, and how much walking you will have to do in between. This could make the difference between getting there five minutes early, or fifteen minutes late!

　　Also, no gum…and try to smell good.

　　Step 4: Use the Confidence

　　The moment you arrive, you have essentially started the interview. Give a confident smile to the receptionist as you walk in. If you're lucky, they'll remember that. Take every opportunity to make an impression on everyone you see or meet.

　　Step 5: Body Movin'

　　Be sure to give a firm handshake and make good eye contact with your interviewer. This is a sign of a good listener, and a responsive worker. Also watch your posture—nobody wants to hire a slouch.

　　Hand gestures that are open and in movement are recommended over a closed posture that might show insecurity.

　　Step 6: Ask Questions

　　Have a few questions ready about the company or position. It shows you did your research, and darn it, you care.

　　Step 7: The Graceful Exit

　　When the interview has concluded, gather your portfolio and thank your interviewer. Shake hands and off you go. Don't linger, it's annoying. As a wise man once said, “Be quick, but don't hurry.”

　　Step 8: The Follow Up

　　Two days after your interview, it is a good idea to follow up by phone or email. This is an opportunity to thank them for considering you, and to let them know that you are very interested in the position.

　　第1步：成功的穿著。

　　底線，你永遠不能盛裝面試。除非你聽到，否則，上身穿西裝，男裝，戴領帶。

　　無論你穿什么，確保在面試時你會是舒適的，并確保它不是寒酸和皺紋的。

　　第2步：帶好你的面試材料

　　您在這里代表自己。帶來多份簡歷，不止一個人問。如果需要，也有手頭上的個人和專業(yè)的參考名單。

　　第3步：不要遲到，要早到

　　你應該至少提前五分鐘到達面試地點。

　　在準備前，要給人留下好印象。聽取我的意見，孩子：從不遲到。

　　步驟4：使用信心

　　你到達的那一刻，你已經基本上開始了采訪。當你漫步的時候給一個自信的微笑。如果幸運的話，他們會記得你。抓住每一個機會，讓你給大家留下深刻的印象。

　　第5步：身體舞動

　　務必給予堅定的握手，使面試官良好的目光接觸。這是一個好聽眾的標志。也看你的姿勢，沒有人要聘請沒精打采的人。

　　步驟6：提問

　　準備幾個對公司和應聘的職位的問題。這表明你做你的研究，織補它，你會在意。

　　第7步：優(yōu)雅的退出

　　面試結束時，收好你的個人資料，并感謝你的面試官。握手就行了。不要迷戀，很煩人。作為一個智者曾經說過，“要快，但還不快點。”

　　第八步：后續(xù)

　　兩天后，對于你的面試，通過電話或電子郵件來詢問。這是一個機會，感謝他們考慮你，并讓他們知道你的位置很感興趣。
