How to make a good impression during a job interview Work, work and work. Surely, most people need a job, and a job interview is the first step that most potential candidates go through. When preparing for a job interview, you technically focus on the questions you might have and the intelligent answers you should give. However, not many know that the people responsible for hiring new candidates have confessed to making decisions based on first impressions. Obviously making a good initial impression is key to being successful in a job interview. Before you go into a job interview, consider six tips to ensure you're on the right track to represent yourself for a lucrative future job. 1. Prepare in advancePreparationFirst of all, organizing your documents also means showing off your background and knowledge. Curriculum vitae, certifications and letters of recommendation must be included in the personal portfolio. Placing these documents in the above-mentioned order is a must because they reflect your expertise. Creating questions and answers is the next step in preparation. The questions reflect your knowledge such as background, work experience and technical knowledge. Furthermore, it is also important to prepare questions and answers about your character. While questions about your knowledge are to assess your IQ (intelligent quotient), character questions are to assess your EQ (emotional intelligence). In modern life, people who have a high emotional intelligence score are those people who can control their emotions and are willing to cooperate with other people. As a result, employers evaluate people with high EQ rather than people with high IQ. It is recommended to shake hands firmly and say polite words such as "Thank you for giving me an interesting interview" or "I hope to work with you in the future". When you get home, don't forget to send a thank you card or email to show your appreciation for the interview panel and look forward to collaborating with them in the future. Warnings: • Do not wait more than 24 hours after the interview to send an email or thank you note. The longer you wait, the less the interview panel will remember who you are. • Don't overwrite your message, but don't understate it either. We strongly recommend using appropriate language and a short message. If you overwrite your message, it really annoys the interviewers. If you underestimate it, it means you don't value their time and are not willing to work with this company at all. In short, making a good impression is very important when taking part in a job interview. Helpful tips like preparing to dress appropriately, be punctual, be kind, use appropriate language, send a thank you message may not guarantee you to be the winner of the interview, but they help demonstrate how professional you are.
