PERSONAL INTERVIEW DO’S AND DON’T’S:

Interview Dos:

Dress appropriately for the industry; err on the side of being conservative to show you take the interview seriously. Your personal grooming and cleanliness should be impeccable.

Know the exact time and location of your interview; know how long it takes to get there, park, find a rest room to freshen up, etc.

Arrive early; 10 minutes prior to the interview start time.

Treat other people you encounter with courtesy and respect. Their opinions of you might be solicited during hiring decisions.

Offer a firm handshake, make eye contact, and have a friendly expression when you are greeted by your interviewer.

Listen to be sure you understand your interviewer's name and the correct pronunciation.

Even when your interviewer gives you a first and last name, address your interviewer by title (Ms., Mr., Dr.) and last name, until invited to do otherwise.

Maintain good eye contact during the interview.

Sit still in your seat; avoid fidgeting and slouching.

Respond to questions and back up your statements about yourself with specific examples whenever possible.

Ask for clarification if you don't understand a question.

Be thorough in your responses, while being concise in your wording.

Be honest and be yourself. Dishonesty gets discovered and is grounds for withdrawing job offers and for firing. You want a good match between yourself and your employer. If you get hired by acting like someone other than yourself, you and your employer will both be unhappy.

Treat the interview seriously and as though you are truly interested in the employer and the opportunity presented.

Exhibit a positive attitude. The interviewer is evaluating you as a potential co-worker. Behave like someone you would want to work with.

Have intelligent questions prepared to ask the interviewer. Having done your research about the employer in advance, ask questions which you did not find answered in your research.

Evaluate the interviewer and the organization s/he represents. An interview is a two-way street. Conduct yourself cordially and respectfully, while thinking critically about the way you are treated and the values and priorities of the organization.

Do expect to be treated appropriately. If you believe you were treated inappropriately or asked questions that were inappropriate or made you uncomfortable, discuss this with a Career Services advisor or the director.

Make sure you understand the employer's next step in the hiring process; know when and from whom you should expect to hear next. Know what action you are expected to take next, if any.

When the interviewer concludes the interview, offer a firm handshake and make eye contact. Depart gracefully.

After the interview, make notes right away so you don't forget critical details.

Write a thank-you letter to your interviewer promptly.



Interview DON'Ts

Don't make excuses. Take responsibility for your decisions and your actions.

Don't make negative comments about previous employers or professors (or others).

Don't falsify application materials or answers to interview questions.

Don't treat the interview casually, as if you are just shopping around or doing the interview for practice. This is an insult to the interviewer and to the organization.

Don't give the impression that you are only interested in an organization because of its geographic location.

Don't give the impression you are only interested in salary; don't ask about salary and benefits issues until the subject is brought up by your interviewer.

Don't act as though you would take any job or are desperate for employment.

Don't make the interviewer guess what type of work you are interested in; it is not the interviewer's job to act as a career advisor to you.

Don't be unprepared for typical interview questions. You may not be asked all of them in every interview, but being unprepared looks foolish.

A job search can be hard work and involve frustrations; don't exhibit frustrations or a negative attitude in an interview.

Don't go to extremes with your posture; don't slouch, and don't sit rigidly on the edge of your chair.

Don't assume that a female interviewer is "Mrs." or "Miss." Address her as "Ms." unless told otherwise. Her marital status is irrelevant to the purpose of the interview.

Don't chew gum or smell like smoke.

Don't allow your cell phone to sound during the interview. (If it does, apologize quickly and ignore it.) Don't take a cell phone call.

Don't take your parents, your pet (an assistance animal is not a pet in this circumstance), spouse, fiancé, friends or enemies to an interview. If you are not grown up and independent enough to attend an interview alone, you're insufficiently grown up and independent for a job. (They can certainly visit your new city, at their own expense, but cannot attend your interview.)

You know what?..........the best thing you should wear while facing the interview is 'An attitude of a winner'.

Don't act artifcial, be yourself.(They are much smarter than you)

Well composed.

Confident.(Being confident may be not easy, i suggest mentally rehearsing the interview, many times before you actually face it, visualise that you are sitting in the front of the interview panel,your ansering them very confidently,they happy wid your answers. etc etc) this way you will be relaxed & low on anxiety.

Apt dressing is sure a first impression.

Be prepared for some stress interview questions.

Your professional interview forlder should be well organised ,so that if asked to produce any of the document you should not be clumpsy.

Maintain your posture well,not too stout or too relaxed.but a straight posture gives a good impact.

Clarity & continuity of speech shall make you a deserving candidate.

Make a good eye contact (Don't stare at the interviewers)

If you don't know a answer, admit it gracefully,but assure them you can improve upon it.

Dear Friend
You have asked, " Can any1 tell me. how to impress the interviewee in the 1st meeting ??"
What is the need of impressing 'interviewee' i.e. a candidate !
However, to impress the interviewer, all above responses are good enough.
Good luck

Dear,
Appearence does matter!
Honestly, it is decided whether this candidate should be given a change or not within the first 3 minutes. We can put the requirements in below order:
1. Appearence (Dressing, Grooming, perfume etc..)
2. Personality (Politeness, Smartness, Smiling face, Confidence, etc...)
3. Communication Skills
4. Experiences
5. Qualifications
There are many Articles and PPTs available in citeHR in this regard. Please search for it. Especially search for a PPT, namely "Grooming" I think.
Regards,
Mammu

Dear,
  • Be confident
  • Be there at your interview at least 15 min. so that you can settle down
  • Qualification is important, still you need to prove yourself in interview
  • Dress accordingly (Which suits your job profile)
  • Have a great smile on your face
  • Be patient, and behave properly from the moment you enter the organisations premises. (C C Cameras do watch you)
  • If you can’t make that interview learn some things from that experience - Don't let your confidence break, think that much better offer is waiting for you

Never think of impressing ...because "Knoweledge Speaks"
Best wishes, and keep going
