5 Tips For Making The Best Impression In An Interview

 

An interview is not only meant to assess your skills, but also to assess your personality. Therefore, before you go for any job interview, it’s very advisable that you prepare adequately. Whether you are going to be considered for the job or not is determined by the kind of impression you create on the interviewers.
One thing which all successful individuals have is the ability to make a good impression: whether you are the Bob Finch of the oil industry or the Philip Green of retail, it’s essential that you have the skills to make yourself memorable. The following smart tips are meant to guide you on how to create a good and admirable impression in an interview:

1. DRESS DECENTLY
The type of dress or clothes you put on says so much about you. The first judgment that interviewers make is basically based on your dress code. Do not dress in casual or dirty clothes. Instead, look for official clothes and make sure that you are groomed properly. By doing this, you will definitely stun the interviewers and they will have to think so hard before saying no to you.

2. ARRIVE ON TIME
One of the most important factors to take into consideration whenever you are invited for an interview is time. It’s very advisable for you to arrive for the interview at least 20 minutes earlier before the scheduled time. This will give you enough time to organize and recollect yourself well. Being punctual for the interview will also show the interviewers how serious and reliable you are for the job.

3. BE CONFIDENT
Self-confidence is also one of the most determining factors in an interview. No one wants to recruit a timid or uncertain person for a serious job. During the interviewing process, just be yourself and provide relevant answers to the questions being asked. Maintain eye contact and stand straight while talking to your interviewers.
Whenever you are asked a question, give a correct answer. If you are not sure about it, be honest and say that you do not know instead of fumbling. However, you should be very careful not to be overconfident. Do not go inside with chewing gum in your mouth or with your hands inside your pockets.

4. ASK SMART QUESTIONS
In most cases, you can will given a chance to ask the interviewers a few questions at the end of the interview. Given a chance, ask intelligent and relevant questions that can show your deep interest in the company or organization. Some of the best questions that you can ask include the following:

  • How does the organization show that it values its workers or employees?
  • What do you expect me to do in order to help your company achieve its goals?
  • What are the challenges that I might face in the job if hired?

Be careful not to ask questions related to payments or benefits as this might show how greedy or money-hungry you are.

5. SHOW APPRECIATION
Before you leave after the interviewing process, do not forget to thank your interviewers. You can show courtesy by giving them a firm handshake and saying kind words such as “Thank you,” “I am much obliged,” or “I would be glad to hear from you again.”
