Dos and Don’ts During Interviews
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008
As in all things, there are certain things that should and shouldn’t be done in certain situations, most especially in a life-changing event such as this.
Here are a few helpful reminders that could go a long way, or could help you get that dream job you’ve always hoped for.
1. Do not accept any beverage, even water, even if offered.
Drinking or eating during an interview will only be a distraction and could cause you embarrassment, which you really don’t need at the moment.
2. Do listen to every question being asked and every word being said.
Think carefully about every question you answer and make sure you heard the question right. Be direct and straightforward. The less you say, the less mistakes you make.
3. Do not fidget around or look at your watch throughout the whole interview.
Do not give the impression that you’re rushing, or you’d rather be somewhere else rather than where you are at the moment. The interviewer might think you are not serious about the job.
