The interview is designed to find out more about you and to see if you are suitable for the job. The interviewer will do this by asking you questions. The way you answer will show what kind of person you are and if your education, skills and experience match what they're looking for.
11. Forget to shake hands with the interviewer.
12. Make a real effort to answer every question the interviewer asks. Be clear and concise. Never answer 'Yes' or 'No' or shrug.
13. Smoke or sit down until you are invited to.
14. Give the interviewer a hard time by giggling, yawning, rambling on unnecessarily or appearing cocky or argumentative.
15. Admit it if you do not know something about the more technical aspects of the job. Stress that you are willing to learn.
16. Show some enthusiasm when the job is explained to you. Concentrate on what the interviewer is saying, and if he or she asks if you have any questions, have at least one ready to show that you're interested and have done your homework.
17. Stress poor aspects of yourself, like your problem of getting up in the morning. Always show your best side: especially your keenness to work and your sense of responsibility.
18. Sell yourself. This doesn't mean exaggerating (you'll just get caught out) or making your experience or interests seem unimportant (if you sell yourself short, no one will employ you).
19. Ask questions at the close of the interview. For instance, about the pay, hours, holidays, or if there is a training programme.
20. After the interview, think about how you presented yourself: could you have
done better? If so, and if you do not get the job, you can be better prepared
when you are next called for an interview. Good luck!
