Company interviews are usually a burden for some. Communication skills and knowledge is tested in this stage of employment. Interviews may make or break you but there are simple ways to ace a job interview.
1. Maintain eye contact to the interviewers.
By maintaining eye contact it shows confidence and sincerity in what you are talking about. This will also give a connection from you to your interviewer which makes you more credible and believable.
2. Maintain proper posture
Carry yourself with confidence and proper bearing. Show them that you are legible and smart looking. Make yourself presentable. You will soon represent the company on their behalf, no one wants to hire a lousy individual.
3. Show courtesy and respect even outside the interviewing room
Interviewers sometimes assign someone to be a lookout on the personality of applicants outside the interviewing room. They may be sometimes a security guard or attendant. Show that you are a professional by not sleeping nor being too loud in the waiting area. Reading books while waiting is a positive gesture.
4. Be punctual
Respect the time of the interviewer. Show up to the venue an hour before the interview in order to avoid the hassle and to calm yourself beforehand.
5. Get to know the company you are applying to.
Study the important information about the company. They might ask you the things that you know about the company. This will show that you are interested and you really want to have the position.
6. Don't run around the bush
Be specific and concise in answering the questions. Elaborate if needed and make yourself relatable to them. Don't make weird intros in answering. Answer with conviction and again, be specific in what you are really want to say.
7. Smile
Don't show a tensioned face to the interviewers. By smiling, it shows that you are confident and it relieves nervousness. This will make you more comfortable and less awkward all throughout the interview.
