You sent your resume to several companies and you just received a call: one of the employers wants to see you in person for an interview.
How to make a good impression and earn your trust? In this article we give you 5 tips so that you achieve good results in job interviews.
1.Be sincere.
First, it is important that you do not make the mistake of lying about yourself to impress the interviewer.
For a person with experience it is very easy to notice the lies at the moment you say them, and it will be very easy to ask a couple of questions that you can not answer. For example, if they ask if you have knowledge about a topic, and you falsely answer yes, they will ask you for some more specific concepts that are part of that area and you will see that you can not develop them. It is better to sincerely accept when you do not know something.
2.Be polite.
It is important that you show kindness in dealing with the person who interviews you. It is not necessary to take an apple or tell him that his shoes are the most beautiful you have seen, however, there are small gestures that will be appreciated; things as simple as saying “health” if you sneeze or say goodbye saying “great pleasure”.
In this sense, it is important to take care of the details of the language. There are thousands between an expression like “do you understand?” And another one like “can I explain?” The ability to distinguish nuances can make a difference.
3.Show confidence
Timid people feel great fear when preparing for a job interview. If you are one of those people, we advise you to remember at all times that you are qualified and have merit to be where you are. Do not let an irrational fear prevent you from showing your talent and your intelligence. Do not let the situation overwhelm you either.
After all, it’s just two people talking. You do not have to force yourself to be an extrovert, but at least you should avoid that shyness distracts you and makes the interviewer not get to know your abilities.
4.Take care of your body language
The way you move and the postures you adapt are one of the main tools with which the interviewer will read you. Therefore, do not sit hunchback and looking towards the floor, as you may seem lacking in enthusiasm.
Also, do not be rigid all the time, you can seem nervous. A very important point is to establish eye contact constantly. Also take care of your hands: it is better that the gesticulation help you to complement what you say and not that they are in the bags waiting for the interview to end.
5.Be flexible.
Some interviewers use the technique of asking about matters that are not related to the work, since in this way it is likely that the interviewees must improvise and thus show how they act naturally. Therefore, do not be surprised if they ask you “what are you reading?”, “Do you like sports?” Or “what are your hobbies?” Therefore, it is good that you are also a good improviser.
