Interview skills and dress etiquette

In addition to mastering skills during the interview, you also need to pay attention to dressing up. The following are interview tips and dress etiquette shared by me. I hope they are useful to you.

Interview skills

1. Once you have made an appointment with the employer for an interview, you must arrive at the interview location 5-10 minutes in advance to show the sincerity of the job seeker and give the other party a At the same time, you can also adjust your mentality and make some simple instrument preparations to avoid rushing into battle and being in a hurry. In order to do this, you must keep in mind the time and place of the interview. Students who are qualified are best to go there in advance to avoid being late due to temporary inability to find the place or delays on the way. If you are late, you will definitely leave a bad impression on the recruiter and even lose the opportunity for an interview.

2. Don’t be nervous when entering the interview situation. If the door is closed, knock first and get permission before entering. The action of opening and closing the door should be gentle, calm and natural. When meeting, you should take the initiative to say hello to the recruiter, and the title should be appropriate. Do not rush to take a seat when the employer does not ask you to sit down. When the employer asks you to sit down, say "Thank you". Maintain a good posture after sitting down, and avoid being careless, looking around, or being indifferent, so as not to cause resentment. When leaving, you should ask: "Do you have anything else to ask?". After receiving permission, you should stand up with a smile, thank you and say "goodbye".

3. Answer the employer’s questions one by one. When the other person introduces the situation to you, listen carefully. To show that you understand and are interested, you can nod at the appropriate time or ask and answer questions appropriately. When answering the interviewer's questions, your speech should be clear, your voice should be moderate, and your answers should be concise and complete. Under normal circumstances, do not interrupt the employer's questions or rush to answer questions, otherwise it will give people the impression of being impatient, reckless, and impolite. After the question is asked, if you don’t understand, you can ask for it to be repeated. When you cannot answer a certain question, you should tell the employer truthfully. Being vague or talking nonsense will lead to failure of the interview. Also be patient with repeated questions and don't show impatience.

4. Throughout the entire interview process, keep your manners elegant and generous, your conversation modest and prudent, and your attitude positive and enthusiastic. If the employer has more than two interviewers, you should look at whoever answers the question, and you should look around the other interviewers in a timely manner to show your respect for them. When talking, you should pay attention to the other party in a timely manner. Don't look around to appear careless, and don't lower your eyelids to appear lack of confidence. It is also unwise to argue with the employer about a certain issue excitedly. It is beneficial to calmly maintain a neither humble nor overbearing demeanor. . Some employers specifically ask some unreasonable questions to test your reaction. If you don't handle them well, you will easily lose your sense of proportion, and the interview results will obviously not be ideal.

Have you mastered the basic interview etiquette? For fresh graduates who are about to step out of school and enter the society, interviewing is really a science. However, paying attention to everything is knowledge. As long as you study hard and practice it , I believe you will receive satisfactory interview results! Interview dress etiquette
