Job Interview Etiquette - II
Pay attention to your body language.
Stand and sit up straight, don’t slouch. Don’t stare the interviewer in the eyes too hard; just make sure your eyes meet frequently. Be moderate in talking with your hands and using hand gestures. A recent study says up to 93 percent of effective communication is non verbal, so you don’t want to send the wrong message.
Be mindful of how you hand over resumes and portfolios. During the interview if you have materials or a portfolio to present, wait until the interviewer has asked to review it. Be sure to open it up and turn it towards the interviewer allowing them to read it from their direction.
Mind your voice and vocabulary. Speak clearly and audibly, not too soft nor too loud. Be sure you make good use of the English language. Avoid using slang words and know your vocabulary before you use it. If the industry you are applying for uses specific jargon, you may want to include some as you answer questions. You give the interviewer a chance to hear you speak like one of their team members.
Keep conversation pleasant, and professional. Don’t go on and on about yourself. Don’t talk too much or too little. Avoid making demands about pay, benefits or perks. Don’t become so comfortable to where you wind up sounding like you’re just shooting the breeze with your friends.
Leave a lasting impression. At the end of the interview stand, look the interviewer in the eye, give a firm hand shake and thank the interviewer for their time. Send a short thank-you note after the interview.
