Tips for Interviewing
Laura Morsch, CareerBuilder.com writer has these tips for those interviewing for positions:
1. Arrive early. Being late for an interview can kill your chances before you begin.
2. Dress appropriately for the interview. Never "dress down" for an interview.
3. Like a good Scout, be prepared. Have a working knowledge of the agency where you are interviewing.
4. Don't give long, rambling answers. Morsch has written that "many nervous job seekers begin rambling when confronted with a tough question, revealing potentially negative information about their skills or character."
5. Watch your nonverbals. "Even if you say all the right things, your body language can send the wrong message," says Erika Weinstein, president and co-founder of Stephen-Bradford Executive Search. Tapping your pen and fiddling with papers signal to the employer that you are nervous, she says. Slouching and leaning back indicate disinterest.
6.Always remember to smile. Friendliness is crucial.
