So often when we look for jobs, we are perplexed about how to behave during an interview. There really are some things to be aware of, we may fidget, we may be nervous, but we have control over some things during an interview, so let's tackle those easy, no brainer items we can control.

We are completely in control of how we dress, how we look, what we know about the company before we go into the interview. So let's tackle those objectives first. What do you think are the top things HR won't tell you while Interviewing?

Clothes should be pressed and professional

idea posted by Shashikant Rajak Senior Consultant, Technozone consultancy ltd

Make sure your clothes have been pressed, if you haven't touched an iron, do so, if you don't have an iron, bring a couple of outfits to a dry cleaners and have them press your clothes for you. Interviews aren't the time to have wrinkled clothes, and be too casual. Dress professionally, don't wear jeans, tank tops, stained clothing, or anything that has neon in it. You want to look like you fit in; you don't want to look like you don't belong.

One has to be presentable at an interview. Half the game is won if you are properly dressed and presentable because that creates an impression on the interviewer.

i agree shahshi (if you don't mind the abbreviated address) - i wish you had also added "polished" shoes - in this age this is another forgotton activity.

Add your argument:

on what parameters his/her performance will be rated

idea posted by saujanya Executive-HR

During the interview the appraisal process and on what elements an employee will be rate may not be discussed,because entry  and  exit of an employee  depends on his/her performance ratings.

The looks matter a bit but how you talk has to be good because if the looks are good but on talk front you are bad you will never selected

Be yourself; at your best: Do not try to imitate or copy someone elses attitude or personality

idea posted by Koushik Chakroborty ...., Actively searching for job openings in HR

Very often freshers and sometimes even (2-3 yrs)experienced people try to make a better representation of themselves by trying to follow/ imitate/ copy the actions (w.r.t. attitude, personality, behavior) he/she likes/adores of somebody; thus creating a misrepresentation of self. In this process the interviewee also feels nervous and insecure of the environment leading to cause unwanted blunders in the interview.

focus on values, attitude, communication, deliverables,confidence

idea posted by kshantaram GM-hrd/hr professor

let your values and attitude be reflected in what you communicate being yourself and what you stand for with humility while being confident of your strengths and what you can deliver in terms of performance through your competencies in terms of knowledge and skills including softskills like leadership qualities putting your best foot forward with all the confidence you can muster. a bit of nervousness is fair enough as all get nervous under the stress of the interview and the uncertainity of the outcome for the coveted job where each one stands a chance of elimination on some ground not matching the metrics of the given organisation - may be you fit better somewhere else.

maintain a learning attitude during the interview discussion taking home something for yourself to retain further and introspect upon, while not remaining submissive and adding value to the discussion without overdoing or outsmarting the interviewers.

hope this puts things in an overall perspective.

 

regards/kshantaram

Yes Sir this is the best way. We cannot expect someone to trust us as long as we are not transparent.
