What to and Not to Do at an Interview
DO:
DON'T:
- Dress for success - wear what the job you are applying for calls for.
- Make sure you shower before hand (and get all the shampoo out of your hair).
- Be early. The early bird gets the worm, and worms taste good when they're a metaphor for a job.
- Stay calm. Nobody wants to hire somebody who's hyperventilating. And if that's the case, come prepared with a paper bag.
- Practice. Because practice makes perfect
- Maintain eye contact. Blink in sync with the interviewer, if necessary.
- Research the organisation, and know your employer's name. It's not creepy, it's preparedness.
- Know the answers to regular interview questions.
- Bring an extra copy of your resumé, SIN, and license/ID.
- Memorize the contents of your resumé. Reading over your interviewers shoulder to answer the question isn't very polite.
- When they ask "Is there anything you'd like to ask about us?" don't say know. Pretend that you want to know all about the way their company works, and if you do actually want to know, this becomes much easier.
- Know the interview location. Don't try to find it ten minutes before because we all know how bad your sense of direction is.
- Be clear in what you are saying. They have to understand what you're trying to say before they can hire you.
- Watch step brothers, and then do the exact opposite of what they do in their interview.
DON'T:
- Don't bring a cell phone. Nobody wants to hear your ring tone. Ever.
- Don't ramble. They'll lose interest pretty quickly.
- Don't answer in less than a sentence. The whole purpose is to give information.
- Don't say the first thing that comes to your mind. You want to think before you talk.
- Don't wear too much cologne. If you accidentally do, make sure you are able to provide a gas mask for the interviewer.
- Don't badmouth past employers. You never know who your interviewers relatives are.
- Don't tell jokes. There's a really good chance they're lame and unprofessional.
- Don't lie. Honesty is the best policy.
- Don't ask about pay, healthcare, etc. That's just good manners.
- Don't get personal. If you do, you may have just told somebody you'll never see again very personal information.
