The Job Manager in Human Resources coordinates the hiring process for classified employees; to initiate a search, you must submit a Request to Hire form and an updated position description. The Employment Manager will prepare a job posting and a newspaper ad for your review based on information from the job description, and can advise you on other parts of the recruitment and selection process.
1 - Practice Good Nonverbal Communication
Its about demonstrating confidence: standing straight, making eye contact and connecting with a firm handshake. That first nonverbal impression can be a great beginning -- or quick ending -- to your interview.
2 - Dress for the Job or Company
Todays casual dress codes do not give you permission to dress as they do when you interview. It is important to know what to wear to an interview and to be well-groomed. Whether you wear a suit or something less formal depends on the company culture and the position you are seeking. If possible, call to find out about the company dress code before the interview.
3 - Listen
From the very beginning of the interview, your interviewer is giving you information, either directly or indirectly. If you are not hearing it, you are missing a major opportunity. Good communication skills include listening and letting the person know you heard what was said. Observe your interviewer, and match that style and pace.
4 - Dont Talk Too Much
Telling the interviewer more than he needs to know could be a fatal mistake. When you have not prepared ahead of time, you may ramble when answering interview questions, sometimes talking yourself right out of the job. Prepare for the interview by reading through the job posting, matching your skills with the positions requirements and relating only that information.
5 - Dont Be Too Familiar
The interview is a professional meeting to talk business. This is not about making a new friend. Your level of familiarity should mimic the interviewers demeanor. It is important to bring energy and enthusiasm to the interview and to ask questions, but do not overstep your place as a candidate looking for a job.
6 - Dont Be Cocky
Attitude plays a key role in your interview success. There is a fine balance between confidence, professionalism and modesty. Even if youre putting on a performance to demonstrate your ability, overconfidence is as bad, if not worse, as being too reserved.
7 - Take Care to Answer the Questions
When interviewers ask for an example of a time when you did something, they are asking behavioral interview questions, which are designed to elicit a sample of your past behavior. If you fail to relate a specific example, you not only dont answer the question, but you also miss an opportunity to prove your ability and talk about your skills.
8 - Ask Questions
When asked if they have any questions, most candidates answer, No. Wrong answer. Part of knowing how to interview is being ready to ask questions that demonstrate an interest in what goes on in the company. Asking questions also gives you the opportunity to find out if this is the right place for you. The best questions come from listening to what youre asked during the interview and asking for additional information.
