Practice, Practice, Practice
• In order to ace your job interview you
  must practice. Not just once but several
  times.
• But, what are you going to practice? The
  following list will help you prepare for
  your job interview.



         www.writetherightresume.com
1. Smiling.
2. Shake hands
3. Research
4. Interview Questions
5. Body Language
6. Verbal communication
7. Exit gracefully




       www.writetherightresume.com
1. Smiling. Yes, you must smile and make
   eye contact.
 Show the interviewer you are happy to
 be there.




        www.writetherightresume.com
2. Shake hands. Get comfortable shaking
   hands with people.
 Put the V of your hand in theirs. . Don’t
 forget to smile and make eye contact
 when shaking hands.




        www.writetherightresume.com
3. Research. Research the company and
   the interviewer. Find the interviewer
   on LinkedIn or the company website.
   Use this information to establish
   rapport and show that you know the
   company mission, vision, and ethics.



         www.writetherightresume.com
4. Interview Questions.
• Conduct an online search for typical
  interview questions in your field.
• You can also look at the job
  announcement.




         www.writetherightresume.com
5. Body Language. Pay attention to your
   body language when you are practicing.
   Don’t look to the ceiling for an answer.
   Don’t look to the left or right.
   Where are your hands when you are
   talking? What direction are your feet
   pointing? Remember to lean in at times.
   Don’t just sit there stiff as a
   board
           www.writetherightresume.com
6. Verbal communication. Do not use
   slang, bad words, or fillers.
• If you don’t know what to say it is ok to
  have a moment of silence or to fill the
  moment of silence by saying “that is a
  great question”



         www.writetherightresume.com
• Don’t use ummm or ahhh’s. Do not
  speak badly of a former employer. Keep
  the conversation positive.
• If you must discuss why you were fired
  state the reason but then share what
  you learned from that experience. Keep
  it positive. Leave the interviewer with a
  positive image in his or
  her mind.
         www.writetherightresume.com
7. Exit gracefully. Look for subtle cues
   such as the person cleaning up the
   desk, pushing away from the desk or
   standing.
 You will want to practice thanking him
 or her for the interview and shaking
 hands again.

         www.writetherightresume.com
• Be sure to thank the staff member that
  may have assisted you with setting up
  the interview or parking on your way
  out of the building too.
• Don’t forget they are watching you exit
  the building.



         www.writetherightresume.com
• I actually had a hiring manager tell me
  they had someone do fabulous during
  the interview but when he left the
  building he used the parking lot as the
  bathroom.
• He didn’t get the job.
