Some important tips in your job seeking quest:
Be prepared for your interview
Have copies of your resume with you. If possible, learn as much about the company as you can before your interview.
Be on time for your interview
This is an employer's first impression of you. Make it a good one!
Dress appropriately!
Dressing to hang out with your friends will not impress a prospective employer. Be sure to dress business like and neat. Remember about that first impression!
Keep eye contact during the interview
Keeping eye contact with the interviewer shows that you are sincere.
Lean forward in your seat during the interview
This shows that you are interested in what the interviewer is saying.
Ask questions during the interview
Remember, you are also interviewing the company.
Asking questions shows that you are focused on the company and what the interviewer has told you about the company and the job.
When the interview has ended thank the interviewer
Also, obtain the interviewer's business card for your reference.
Follow up with a thank you letter to the interviewer
Nothing makes a better impression than sending a letter thanking the interviewer for taking the time to interview you. This simple action could mean the difference between landing that job or not!
