You have a perfectly written Resume and a nice cover letter but it’s really that job interview that will be highly decisive. You may be quite nervous about your interview especially if you are eager to get the job of your dreams, with hundreds of candidates hunting for the same job…Don’t worry, there are a few tips and tricks that will help you go through that interview successfully and definitely make an impression. It’s all about making yourself remembered, about being unique, about being you!

Run a thorough research on the employer– there is plenty of free information available online, so make use of it. Check out everything you can about the employer and about the specific job requirement. This way, no question will get you on the wrong foot at the interview.

Dress for success? Yes indeed. You must ensure that you dress up nice and extremely professional. You can never go wrong with a combination of white and black, and corporate style accessories. Nothing glittery and glamorous…only highly chic!

Be on time! There is no excuse for you for being late for your interview. The first impression matters, so you need to step into the room nice and relaxed, and on time always. You shouldn’t look like you just ran to catch a cab the last minutes to get to your interview.

Be warm, answer questions promptly and friendly. Remember that the hiring manager will want to see your personal side, so stay away from responding in a robotic and nervous manner to questions. Be relaxed, always make eye contact, and don’t forget to greet everyone in the room in a warm manner.

Show confidence – even if feeling confident is the last thing on your mind while at the interview, you must do everything possible to show confidence. Try to answer the questions as shortly as possible, always highlighting your most important accomplishments, success stories. You never want to sound bragging about yourself, but a self-confident, nice and warm person who would really like to get this job.

‘Express’ yourself throughout the interview- Don’t forget to maintain that eye contact no matter what, and nod in approval from time to time. Don’t interrupt the interviewer, but only nod when you feel you need to show that you approve of the respective idea. Keep your posture straight, don’t ‘flow’ in your chair, but don’t sit overly stiff either.

Ask questions of you own– this will highly impress the hiring manager, as it shows you are truly interested to find out more about the company, about the respective job. Prepare a few questions in advance and when opportunity arises ask your questions. You will definitely get answers and maybe this way your persona will be remembered the most!
