First job interview
|
Being called in for that exciting first job interview is a whirl wind of emotions, excitement, nervousness, and fear. The first impression is the only impression that matters on this interview, so what should you avoid? An employer wants a confident, intelligent, honest, and trusting person.
What to Avoid:
1. Not keeping eye contact - shows dishonesty.
2. Using filler words (um, ya know, or like) - shows inability to stay on a thought or on task.
3. Showing any bitterness towards a previous employer - employers assume you will find reason to be bitter
4. Slouching in your chair - gives impression of being lazy non detailed or lack of interest in position.
5. Not being prepared to ask questions or not know the business you are interviewing for - again this shows non interest in the position.
Going into the interview you should feel confident always look your best, have your resume, be prepared, but most importantly be you. Your greatest attribute will shine through. |
