Let's face it, job interviews are as much fun as the hot wax, without anesthesia. After all, trying to show their talent to a group of strangers, usually against the clock and in any other territory is not a natural act. However, if you really want the job, then you have to break the enigma of the interview. Giving "good interview" is all about the three Ps - preparation, presentation and positive thinking. All interviews are basically made of the same hell, so let's start from the beginning with the presentations.

The introduction of the interview can be a slippery customer and can easily get away from you. Once you enter that chamber of horrors commonly known as the interview room, you're on your own, never sure if you are saying or doing the right thing. The harder you try to relax more nervous than they seem to feel. Just string a coherent sentence seems that one of the labors of Hercules. Of course, the room is unbearably hot and your mouth is extremely dry so that your tongue swells, cutting off oxygen to his brain. The panic that grips. Finally, just as you are about to become their heels and make a decent script for nearest fire escape, the interviewer extends a helping hand friendly and welcoming. Now, what to do?

Fear not. Presentations need not be embarrassing episodes, distressing or tears. Introductions can be easy and fun. You simply have to approach things calmly and logically. Stop and think about this for a moment. You are meeting someone for the first time, a blank, an opportunity for you to write your own ticket, without preconceptions or bias in the way. All you have to do is arrive on time, dressed up, check your teeth from the remains of his last meal, be yourself and make sure you are using industrial strength deodorant. What could be simpler? Strengthen the confidence that you can always practice introducing yourself in the mirror in the bathroom before you actually attend the interviews. You may want to try this in the comfort of your own home instead of in the bathroom of his local pizzeria, where the introduction of yourself to fellow users may be frowned upon.

Having successfully navigated the introduction of the interview, his next big challenge is to address a range of refreshments. Something as seemingly benign as a cup of tea or coffee can wreak havoc in an interview. Having to juggle hot liquids in flimsy plastic cups, while to convince a stranger of his experience in marketing or business acumen should always be avoided. Accept or reject soft drinks is something of a trial, and do not want to seem strange, but remember that the risks are high. Sipping or gulping loudly not endear you to the interviewer, while spilling hot chocolate in front of the cream and the business suit of oatmeal is a mistake too few candidates can be recovered. Therefore, if you find the fear and anxiety has become the mouth as dry as Death Valley in the hottest day of the year, simply ask for a glass of water. It is probably the safest option.

According to some eminent psychologists who study these things, the first minutes of an interview are crucial in determining the outcome. It seems that first impressions really count. With the preliminaries over, it's time to tackle the main event. At this stage of the game whether you are full of confidence and desperate for the toilet, a cigarette and a chocolate bar family size. Whatever happens you have to stay focused on the task at hand. 105 seconds is all the time you will get to make a good impression. The key is not to panic. Do not panic! If you are well prepared then nothing can go wrong. You should know exactly what questions to ask, what to say and when to say it. Try to anticipate questions the interviewer is likely to be asked, and have their answers ready. But remember, before responding to pause for a moment. It seems more natural. Keep your delivery clear, consistent, positive, short and simple, so do not go wrong. And try not to deviate or go on a tangent.

Are doubtful, however, have the confidence that has its polish, nails pulled out with tweezers recently arranged oxidized is much worse than average job interview. Interviewers are not the monsters that might seem. They're just ordinary people doing a difficult job. If the interviewer makes a bad decision after both you and your new employer will suffer. The best thing you can probably do is put their trust in the interviewer's experience while checking the chair offered for strings and screws. At the end of all this torment, after saying and doing everything right, still can not do the job. Sometimes life is fickle. In that case, try to get something positive in your interview technique and move on.

Generally, as you begin to relax and feel that we are building a relationship with your interviewer will find the tortuous process of a sudden everything comes to an end. And now, at the end of the interview which is facing its greatest challenge. As your confidence level up is the temptation to lower our guard and shift its strategy from the original interview. Resist that impulse. Technically known as "the end of the interview euphoria" we must fight the urge to say something witty or clever. In the thin air of newfound confidence heady it is likely that his wit and cunning will be interpreted as talkative and even rudeness. Take it from someone who has suffered this fate, to fight his impulses and keep your mouth closed, but you make a direct question.

Maybe not the grand finale to imagined or rehearsed, but safer, by far, the conclusion of his interview with a thank you note, a smile and a gentle reminder of their contact details. Before you stand out, especially if you're one of those who play recklessly accepts reckless liquid refreshments, be sure to pour everything is out of danger. Now, all that remains for you to do is get out. In this last stage of the process is delicate advisable not to run. The risks are everywhere and bumping into the trash, coffee table altering or removing the phone line wall jack usually go against you. Whenever possible it is best to leave the construction of a new potential employer's office, systems and equipment as you found them. The rules of the game and leave you there with a new job in the bag. Congratulations. Also, tomorrow is another day and another interview.
