UEL Get That Job

Remember, the interviewer is paying more attention to how you look and sound, than to what you say at first. It’s vital to make a strong first impression.

The Rules

• Turn off your mobile phone!
• Greet everyone with a firm handshake and confident greeting.
• Remember the names and titles of your interviewers.
• Maintain eye contact with your interviewers and smile.
• Use calming techniques like deep breathing if you feel nervous.
• Use positive body language. Don’t fold your arms or hunch over. Don’t slouch in your chair.
• Remember your voice and diction. Speak clearly and make sure that your interviewers can hear you. Don’t speak too fast especially if you have an accent.
• Think of the image that you want to portray – enthusiastic, interested, knowledgeable. Does your body language reflect this?
• Give relevant answers to all questions.
• Leave the interview with another firm handshake and a smile.
