Let’s say that you are now fully ready for the interview: the company was impressed with your online resume and you were immediately contacted; it’s as if the job is already yours for the taking. But before you start celebrating, you still have to get through the most important part; the actual interview itself.
Here are some things to remember during an interview online/or in person:
Be formal, show courtesy to everyone
To start things off, be courteous with everyone in the office (if a personal interview) as they may become colleagues in the future.
Offer a hand shake to the interviewer(If a personal interview). Proper greetings will emit an aura of professionalism which is essential to build a rapport with the interviewer. If rapport is developed, the interview will be a lot easier to get through. The interviewer is not your enemy, he is not there to criticize you but to measure your compatibility with the job.
Be calm and comfortable
A job interview is more like of a conversation than an interrogation; it is a process of determining whether you really are fit for the job or not. There is no need for you to fear anything. Just relax and be attentive to the whole interview. Express everything you say as clear and as possible because jittery and uncertain answers may just cause a bad impression. Be Cool.
