How to introduce yourself in an interviewLive Lingua
This document covers the basics of how to introduce yourself in an interview in order to appear professional, confident, and prepared for the job at hand.
Remember, jobs are not given based on examination marks.
One has to ace an interview. But, every interview does not end up with a job. So, don't lose heart. Analyse your shortcomings and keep going, till you achieve success. Best of Luck!
We often mistake an interview to be an oral examination in which an interviewee needs to answer the questions of an interviewer, smartly. It is in reality, a face-to-face interaction between two parties which are trying to figure out how both can complement each other to accomplish certain business goals together. Cracking an interview right can serve as a powerful gateway to your dream career. With each company having its individual selection strategy, the only step that remains constant in any selection process is a Personal Interview (PI)
Jobs are not given on the marks secured in examination. Success at any interview largely depends on your preparations, mental get up, attitude and practice.
This is an attempt to prepare you to face any job interview and come out with flying colors. 'How to Ace an Interview' is only an attempt to equip yourself and ace any difficult interview.

3. Introduction
An interview gives a prospective employer the opportunity to
speak with you and consider your appropriateness for the job
in question.
Since most resume or job
application has met the prerequisite
for the desired job applied for, the
interview will usually focus on those
intangibles (such as your
personality and style) that will help
the employer decide whether or not
you will fit into the company culture
4. However, interviewing is a skill you can learn.
With the right tips and
techniques, you can become a
master at sharing your value
with potential employers,
presenting yourself effectively
at interviews, and getting the
job you want.
5. Even the smartest and most qualified job seekers need
to prepare for job interviews.
10 strategies to enhance your interview skills
Why, you ask?
Interviewing is a
learned skill, and
there are no second
chances to make a
great first
impression.
6. That first non verbal
impression can be a
great beginning or quick
ending to your
interview.
1.Practice Good Non verbal Communication
10 strategies to enhance your interview skills
It's about demonstrating confidence: standing straight,
making eye contact and connecting with a
firm handshake.
7. 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.
10 strategies to enhance your interview skills
Today's casual dress codes do not give you permission to
dress as "they" do when you interview.
If possible, call to find out about the company dress code
before the interview.
8. 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.
10 strategies to enhance your interview skills
From the very beginning of the interview, your
interviewer is giving you information, either directly or
indirectly.
9. You may sometimes talking
yourself right out of the job.
Prepare for the interview by
reading through the job posting,
matching your skills with the
position's requirements and
relating only that information.
10 strategies to enhance your interview skills
Telling the interviewer more than he needs to know could
be a fatal mistake when you have not prepared ahead of
time
10. Your level of familiarity should
mimic the interviewer's
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.
10 strategies to enhance your interview skills
The interview is a professional meeting to talk business. This
is not about making a new friend.
11. Be aware of any
inappropriate slang
words or references to
age, race, religion,
politics or sexual
orientation-
10 strategies to enhance your interview skills
It's a given that you should use professional
language during the interview.
- these topics could send you out the door very quickly.
12. Attitude plays a key role in your interview success. There
is a fine balance between confidence, professionalism
and modesty.
10 strategies to enhance your interview skills
Even if you're putting on a
performance to
demonstrate your ability,
overconfidence is as bad,
if not worse, as being too
reserved.
13. If you fail to relate a
specific example, you
not only don't answer
the question, but you
also miss an opportunity
to prove your ability and
talk about your skills.
10 strategies to enhance your interview skills
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.
14. 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 you're asked
during the interview and asking
for additional information.
10 strategies to enhance your interview skills
When asked if you 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.
15. Reflect the three Cs during the
interview: cool, calm and
confidence.
You know you can do the job;
make sure the interviewer
believes you can, too.
10 strategies to enhance your interview skills
When you interview with the "please, please hire me"
approach, you appear desperate and less confident.
17. What to take
Before the interview
How to make a good
impression
Tips for controlling your
nerves
Practice job interviews
Phone & Video interviews
Second interviews
18. Your interview invitation should detail everything
that you need, but generally you should take:
your CV, letter of application
and interview invitation;
a bottle of water;
your mobile phone.
an A-Z street map, or the postcode of the organization so
that you can search Google Maps on your mobile phone;
19. exam certificates, examples of
your work, and any further
evidence of your past successes;
money;
pen and notepad;
photo ID (e.g. passport or
driving license );
details of the person that you must ask for upon arrival;
the job description and job specification of the post you
are applying for
20. anticipate potential
questions and prepare
answers accordingly;
consider how you'll
explain problematic
aspects of your CV, such
as leaving an employer;
Interviews require much research and planning. Generally,
you should do the following when preparing for interview.
21. contact your references,
alerting them that you'll be
interviewing and that they
may receive a call;
fully understand the role that
you're applying for by
revisiting the job description,
identifying what skills,
interests and experiences the
employer is looking for;
22. prepare questions to ask the
interviewer;
read the organization's
website, social media profiles
and key literature (e.g.
business plan, financial
reports and corporate social
responsibility strategy), so
that you are prepared to
share your views and ideas;
23. research the news, trends,
competitors, history and
opportunities of the
organization and its job
sector;
review your CV and
application form.
24. Choose your outfit the
night before, getting plenty
of sleep and avoiding
excessive alcohol
consumption. Plan your
journey, aiming to arrive
ten minutes early.
Completing a 'dry run', if possible, also combats nerves.
On the day, eat a good, healthy breakfast and avoid too
much meat.
25. avoid talking about any
personal problems;
be as enthusiastic as
possible;
Generally, you should answer questions clearly and
concisely; ask relevant, thought-provoking questions at
appropriate moments, as this can show that you're genuinely
interested in the role and really listening to the interviewer;
26. be well-mannered with
any staff that you meet
before the interview;
display positive body
language, speaking
clearly, smiling
frequently and retaining
eye-contact;
don't badmouth any
previous employers;
27. give a firm handshake to
your interviewer(s) before
and after;
highlight your best attributes,
experiences and
achievements, based around
the skills that you've
identified as important to the
organization, and evidencing
them with practical
examples;
28. inform your interviewer(s)
that you're available to
answer any follow-up
questions;
let your personality shine;
relax and sit naturally, but
without slouching in your
chair or leaning on the
desk;
29. show your hands, as
this is a sign of honesty;
wear smart business
attire with comfortable,
polished shoes.
30. Nerves can make you forget to do things as simple as listen.
This can result in you being thought of as unfriendly or
inattentive. Some ideas for combating nerves include:
being aware of the interview's
structure, and the fact that they
often begin with easier
questions such as 'tell us about
your time at university';
exercising before your
interview, as this burns off
negative energy and creates
feelings of wellbeing;
31. pausing before answering a
difficult question to give
yourself thinking time, or
asking for clarification if, at
first, you're unsure what the
question means;
putting everything into perspective, reminding
yourself that the worst thing that can happen is you
not getting the job;
32. taking a toilet break
before the interview;
taking deep breaths and
not speaking too
quickly;
taking notes with you, writing down cues to
highlight examples that you want to draw
upon;
33. thinking about positive
and happy experiences
before the interview
starts, and visualizing
yourself in complete
control during the
interview.
34. ask for advice and feedback
after unsuccessful
interviews;
practice and monitor your
skills by treating interview-
like scenarios such as
discussions with your tutor
as genuine interviews;
Your university careers and employability service is likely
to provide practice job interview sessions. Alternatively,
you could:
35. record yourself in a mock
interview, playing it back to
check how you did;
review the different types of
possible questions, writing
down your responses,
taking notes and creating
flash cards;
script and practice answers to anticipated questions
with someone that you trust.
36. In this modern world of technology, it’s is common to find a
QR code, new app for the tablet/phone, or some other
incorporation of technology. Human Resource professionals
are now modernizing their practices too in searching for the
best recruits.
Numerous HR recruiting
officers are now using social
media or other online
resources to attract 21st
Century literacy candidates to
their company. This rings true
for interviews as well.
37. It is not uncommon these days to hear about someone
having a Skype (video) or phone interview rather than the
traditional face-to-face interview. When thinking about
being the interviewing via video or phone interview, would
preparation differ? Would there be a high level of comfort?
Many people answer no.
This mode of interviewing is
somewhat new and there is
important etiquette associated
with a successful interview to
set yourself apart from the
competition.
38. Between phone and video interviews there are some
different approaches to having a successful meeting with a
potential employer..
Separated below are tips
to consider when
preparing for and
participating in a video or
phone interview
39. Telephone Interview
- Initial employer call that eliminates candidates based on
essential criteria. Successful applicants are usually invited
to the one-to-one stage.
These are usually used for cost-
efficient preliminary screening
before the first one-to-one
interview. They're often
recorded and vary in length, but
average around 20-30 minutes.
You should prepare for a phone interview just as you
would for a regular interview and generally should:
