1. Surviving The Interview: Tips On How To
Keep It Together
Boca Raton, FL

2. A lot of people dread interviews. Perhaps it’s due to
the thought of just how important and impactful
those 30 minutes or so could be. Or maybe it’s
because you’re meeting with people who have the
power to shape your career/life. For others, it’s the
fear of failure that keeps them on the edge.

3. Overall, it’s simply just the case of the unknown and
the butterflies that come with that. In this article, find
some helpful tips on how to keep it together and
survive your interview.

4. Arrive much earlier than scheduled
Try as much as you can to arrive at the interview
location much earlier than scheduled. If you can, get
there about 30 minutes early. This is not about being
punctual. Punctuality means being there 5-10 minutes
ahead. This is about buying time. Getting there half an
hour early does two things for you.

5. One, it allows you to calm down and get your thoughts
together; something that you can’t do if you arrive and
head straight into the interview room. Two, time
allows you to soak in the environment you’re in.
Remember, you want to work in that place. By
spending some time there, you get to observe and see
how the staff there behave and do things. You can then
use that to blend in and make yourself a worthy suitor
when you meet the interviewers.

6. Learn everything you can about the organization
Research the organization you’re applying to. Learn
what they do, how many branches they have and
where, who the senior management staff are, what the
working hours are, etc. This is important because the
interviewing panel will want to know how well you
understand their entity and just might ask you about it

7. That aside, it’s also important because, by learning
about the organization, you will start to feel more at
ease being there and when being interviewed. You will
feel more ‘at home’ and that will help you perform
better.

8. Stay composed no matter what
No matter how well prepared you are in regards to
what you’ll be asked in the interview room, what you
cannot prepare for is the tension and anxiety that
develops in there. To this end, train yourself to stay
composed no matter what.

9. Even the best candidates sometimes flop simply
because their composure slipped off and they did
something they couldn’t take back. The first two
points of this post will help you stay composed. In
addition to those, take a moment before responding
to questions, don’t get dragged into arguments, and
don’t get infuriated even if they dig into you.

10. Watch your body language
Last but not least – watch your body language. A
lot of communication takes place in the interview
room. And much of it is verbal. Or is it? 55% of all
communication is actually non-verbal. So watch
the movements you make with your hand, your
legs, and even your face; they all mean something.

11. For example, don’t cross your arms in front of your
chest or you’ll come off as being defensive, and
don’t make too many hand gestures or you’ll seem
to be all over the place. Other gestures such as
crossing your legs show confidence and
dominance but don’t try that unless you’re
applying for a senior position, lest you come off as
being arrogant.
