Day 12


Make Right First Impression (2)


1. When you are called for your interview, greet your interviewer with a smile and a firm handshake. Allow yourself to be directed to his office and wait to be offered a seat. Keep your posture 1 erect 2 without being stiff, and sit with your legs uncrossed. Be comfortable, but don't slump 3 down in your seat, don't accept refreshments 4, and do not touch anything on the interviewer's desk.


2. The "small talk " will be limited and your interviewer will begin. You should know why you are there and what you have to offer. Your agenda is to sell your strengths and get hired, so you must be alert to opportunities to get your points made. You must concentrate on what your interviewer is saying and the kinds of questions being asked. the interviewer is leading, but you can control the direction of an interview by having a prepared agenda and concentrating on opportunities to slide your selling points into the conversation.


3. Never leave an interview empty-handed. When your interview ends, make sure you know your interviewer's name, title, and mailing address, and ask what happens next. Will there be a second interview, and if so, who will be conducting it and when will it take place? Do you have a hiring timetable? Woud it be all right to follow up in a few days? Is there any more information that would help you make a favorable decision? If you want this job and feel you are a good match, say so. Let your interviewer know you're ready to accept. Be assertive 5 without being obnoxious 6. Close your sale.


4. Send thank-you note within 24-hours of your interview! A handwritten thank-you note on plain paper is fine. Make it brief and courteous 7. Thank your interviewer for the time and interest, and if you want the job, say so again. Then make plans to follow up on your interview, and continue your job search activity. Your sale is never completed until a start date has been offered.
