Preparing for a Job Interview, Good interview skills do matter

The Job Interview and Your Interview Skills

The time has finally arrived  for you to be finally called for a Job Interview. You nervously try to find the best suit to wear and don't know what to anticipate because this really is a rare opportunity to be called for a job interview. As a potential employee, you may wish to know that though you have been called for that Job interview there are perhaps 20 others with the same experience as yours ready to answer the same questions the interviewers panel will ask you. If you are looking forward to Join the work environment you must have the skill and attributes to win an interview with flying colours. You must be a winner and not a loser at all. So what are some of the interview skills you must have.

Must Have Interview Skills
1) Confidence; You must have the confidence when you face the interviewing panel. Interviewing panels love confidence because it shows that you are sure of yourself and have the right abilities to get the job done. When they ask you a question, it isn't very encouraging if you don't answer them clearly because it just spoils the whole interview process. Make sure you are clear and your voice projection is good so that they wont have to keep asking you to repeat yourself. Doing that shows that you are ready for the work environment.

2) Body Language; Interviewers are very observant on your body language. So when in an interview trying to enter a new work environment, make sure that your body posture is good, make sure that your gestures and facial expressions are good and even your eye movements. When smiling or laughing do it at the right time and when its relevant. Try to show them that you are not intimidated by their presence and that you are as free as anything. But don't overdo it, the Job Interviewers may confuse that with being too complacent.

3) Dress Code; Please, Please, PLEASE...Make sure you wear appropriate cloths for the Job Interview. Most of the times the suit is the best. But if you are going to wear a suit it shouldn't have holes or torn places on it because that will just defeat its purpose. Your suit should match well from top to bottom.

4) Responses; When the Job Interviewers ask you to tell them a bit about yourself....Don't mention your Mother Please!! They are asking you to tell them about your work experience which is particularly related to the position you have applied for. You can only briefly, very briefly mention your talents which you think are relevant to the job. If they ask you about the Salary, mention a figure prevailing in the market but don't blow it out of proportions. If there is anything companies hate is costly employees whether they say it to your face or not.

Moving on After a Job Interview
Incase you actually got the job, that is the best thing that could ever happen to you. Now you are ready to face the work environment in confidence and grab the bull by its horns. On your first day of work, be the same person you were at the Job interview and make people see that you are relevant. Even when you arrive, your superiors have really high expectations for you just as you have high expectations from them as well. So, don't you dare blow it up but ensure that you are a winner on and off the field. Make the work environment your best ally. Later!!!!
