FIRST INTERVIEW, FIRST IMPRESSION
People generally have butterflies before their first interview. It is pretty normal to have them yet maintain your confidence. If you are preparing for your first job interview, never underestimate yourself. The interviewer is not sitting there as a surgeon. He is there to bring out the best in you, to explore what you have that could benefit his company. Just be yourself in front of him/her but do put your great mind at work simultaneously.
The first thing judged in you when you walk into the interview room is how you are dressed up. The personality plays a vital role in determining this. Never be in funky clothes and do not dress up loud just to sow that you are in sink with the fashion. It is an interview, not a night party. Be in formals. Never have untidy and long hair which would make you look shabby. Your shoes must be clean and polished. The clothes must be well ironed. For girls, it is very important that your hair do not hang loose upon your forehead. Tie and clip them up!
Never ever be late for your interview. If you are late for this only, you could never be on time for your job. This would give the interviewer a very bad impression.
Be confident. Portray a good attitude of mixing up with the people. Ask the interviewer before you have a seat. Remember, the initial questions would be simple and easy. So never ever presume that the interviewer would directly come to your qualifications and achievements. As this pre-planned presumption would stammer you up.
The interviewer can start it by asking you about you. Be prepared for this. Do not take the 10-20seconds’ goof up interval between the question asked and your answer. This comes upon you as a blank question, where you can fill the most of it and can either make it or break it.
Be fluent in your answers. Identify the needs and the wants of the interviewer and answer accordingly. Show your best suited traits for the wants they have. Never waste the precious time in answering what is not related to what the job demands. Be to the point and do not confuse the interviewer with your mixed response. You may even ask the interviewer politely about what he is finding in an interviewee so that you can put forward it without wasting the time. Once you get to know it, justify yourself for it.
It is highly very important to prepare yourself a day before your interview. Be relaxed and create a small list of the material you would need and carry with you. Arrange your papers well in a file. Carry your appointment letter with you and do review your CV well. Sitting before a mirror and rehearsing yourself is a good way to boost up your confidence and answer well. Never reflect that you are nervous. Feel free to ask the interviewer if you have any queries.
Another thing containing weightage is how well you sit in an interview. The sitting positions have a lot more to say and portray as you can imagine. Sit firm. Do not cross your legs or fold your arms as it is a sign of nervousness. Always keep your elbows on your laps as it signifies openness and broadness. Do not drag the chair while sitting and leaving. Place it back when you get up. Walk confidently and do not slam the door. When you go out of the room, do not make any noise or even a sigh sound of it getting over. This establishes a very negative impression. Stay disciplined.
The interview appointment does not give you a sure shot job. Do not lose your hope and try till you succeed. The future has a lot in its store for you.
After all it is your first impression, you need to show a good blend of confidence, skills, behaviour, personality traits, and a good attitude to the fast changing dynamic environment.
