How to behave in a job interview
- It is normal to feel nervous before a job interview.
- Try to relax and to be as calm as possible. Remember that all that the interviewer wants, is to get to know you.
- Be punctual (very important), polite and friendly.
- When people introduce themselves to you, try to memorize their names.
- Don’t forget to turn off your phone.
- Body language is very important when we try to make a good impression.
- Try to keep a relaxed posture and keep your back straight, but not stiff.
- Leaning in slightly when someone is speaking to you further demonstrates that you are actively listening.
- When the conversation starts, always maintain eye contact.
- Don’t talk too fast and let the other party finish before you answer.
- Take time to think before you respond because some questions might be tricky.
- It is recommendable to be honest with your answers but try to phrase things positively.
- What employers primarily look for in a candidate is willingness to perform and interest.
- If you can be convincing about both accounts, your chances of getting the internship/job will increase significantly.
