3. ETTIQUETTE
1) Be on time. If you're going to be late, show that you are respectful of the interviewer's time and call to say when you'll be arriving.
2) Thank the interviewer for taking the time to meet with you, both at the beginning of the interview and again at the end.
3) Dress appropriately. If you arrive dressed too casually or too formally, the situation can be uncomfortable for both you and the person interviewing you.
4) Introduce yourself to the receptionist and to everyone you meet in the organization.
5) Shake hands with everyone, using a firm (but not forceful) grip, and make strong eye contact.
6) Place your loose items on the floor next to your seat, in your lap, or on the side table, coffee table, or in front of you at a conference table. Your briefcase or bag should be kept at your feet, not on a chair or table.
7) Do not ask for refreshments. If refreshment is offered, you can accept it. If you are asked to dine out as part of your interview, use good table manners.
8) Keep electronic devices turned completely off. A phone set to vibrate will interrupt the meeting.
9) Consider taking notes, though this isn't expected. It's a good way though to show that you're interested, and you can refer back to specific information later on.
10) Keep a positive and friendly attitude. This includes ending on a high note and sharing your enthusiasm about the possibility of working there.
11) Pause before answering in order to gather your thoughts. A five-second pause may seem like a long time to you, but it will likely show the interviewer that you have considered your answer.
12) Stick with a factual but interested tone. Avoid raising the pitch of your voice at the end of a statement. Doing so can change the tone of your statement to that of a question, which makes you seem uncertain. Avoid using the same tone for every answer, though, as it can make you sound bored.
13) Practice your answers before you go. If you have a good answer prepared and practiced, it will be on the tip of your tongue! You will sound more confident if you are not trying to think up an answer on the spot.
14) Try to reduce the number of times you use filler words. These are words like um, uh, like, and you know. They can imply that you are not sure about what you want to say.
15) Don't apologize for being nervous. Doing so actually calls more attention to the fact that you are worried about your performance.
16) Get some public speaking practice beforehand. You might consider joining a local public speaking group, such as toastmasters. You can also just practice with family or friends, and they can give you helpful feedback.
17) Body language. Can communicate almost as much information as what you are actually saying. Your true thoughts and attitude are often reflected in your body language. The more positive you feel about the interview and your abilities, the more likely this will be reflected in your body language.
