Presentation Transcript

  1. Interviewing Presentation by: Ms. LoPresti

  2. Attitude • Attire and Grooming • Body Language

  3. A Positive Attitude Always Wins! • SMILE

  4. Be Polite (Tell your interviewer that it’s nice to meet them.)

  5. Shake hands (Don’t be afraid to make the first move.)

  6. Attire: What To Wear… • You should always dress your best! (This includes ironing your clothes and tucking in your shirt.) • Dress appropriately for the job you’re interviewing for.

  7. Appropriate Attire • Conservative two-piece business suit (solid dark blue or grey is best) • Conservative long-sleeved shirt/blouse (white is best, pastel is next best) • Clean, polished conservative shoes • Necktie (for men) with a conservative pattern • Empty pockets—no bulges or tinkling coins • Light briefcase or portfolio case • No visible body piercing (nose rings, eyebrow rings, etc.) or tattoos

  8. Men Get a haircut; short hair always fares best in interviews Fresh shaved; mustaches trimmed No beards (unless you are interviewing for a job as a lumberjack!) No rings other than wedding ring or college ring No earrings Both Well-groomed hairstyle Clean, trimmed fingernails Minimal cologne or perfume No gum, candy, or cigarettes Women If you wear nail polish, use clear or a conservative color Keep your makeup simple and natural (it should not be too noticeable) No more than one ring on each hand One set of earrings only Appropriate Grooming

  9. Inappropriate

  10. Body Language • Be conscious of posture while standing and sitting. • Sit up straight and lean slightly forward to show interest. • Avoid "closed" body language. • Crossed arms and clenched fists show defensiveness and tension; it is the universal sign of unfriendliness • Crossing your ankle over your knee with hands locked behind your head can be interpreted as the "rebel without a cause" look; it can make you look unruly or difficult to work with. Instead, sit with your ankles crossed or feet flat on the floor and use open hand gestures which suggest friendliness.

  11. Do not fidget (It is a telltale sign of nerves.) Playing with hands Twisting hair "If you can't handle stress in a job interview, how can you handle it in the job?"

  12. Make eye contact (Do not look at the ground or above the interviewer’s head.) Disinterest Lack of confidence Lying Avoid “Stalker Stare”

  13. Other Pitfalls • Talking too much • Lack of knowledge about company or position • Over-inflated ego • Appearing overly confident • Inquiring about compensation too early in the process

  14. The End
