You have graduated from high school or college and is now ready for their first "real" work. You have mailed resumes and have been called for your interview. How do you do well in the interview so you end up being offered the job?

1. Dress professionally. No belly shirts, low-cut tops or flip-flops, and we're going to work and not to the beach. Although not necessary to buy a suit, it is particularly important to look professional. If you are trying to get a job at a conservative office as an accounting firm, do not dress like you're at a concert. If you are applying for a booth, you have a little more freedom. Instead of listing what clothing is and is not acceptable, I would say to dress as if to meet one of the most important people in your life because you are!

2. Make sure you are well looked after. Do not look like you just rolled out of bed and could not bother to take care of basic personal hygiene. Nothing will make the Human Resources Manager to bring the interview to a close faster than the unwashed hair, dirty fingernails or body odor. As an employee, you will be a reflection of the company and no customer wants to do business with a careless person.

3. Be aware of your body language. A firm handshake at the beginning of the interview shown confident. Maintain eye contact, be relaxed and be attentive to the interviewer. Ask questions and listen carefully to the answers. Think before answering questions from the interviewer, not wandering off and keep the conversation on the subject.

4. Be prepared for the interview. Research the company beforehand, every business now has a website where you can learn what they do and who their customers. This shows that the interviewer is interested in the job and took the initiative to find out everything I could about the company.

5. Be present at the interview. I have interviewed candidates who acted as if waiting for the bus. Do not ask questions, but only listened to me, and I was not really sure if you were paying attention. Be enthusiastic, ask questions and participate in the interview. After listing all the tasks that position, I asked a candidate if this sounds like something I'd be interested in. His response was a quiet, "I can do the job." She did not answer my question, seemed indifferent, and she got the job. If you can not be excited in the interview, you will not be energized in the workplace either.

First impressions count, and wishes to make clear he wants the job, are willing to work hard and do everything possible. You may not necessarily be the most qualified candidate, but still work the land, as were the highlights. Good luck!
