RESEARCH THE COMPANY First, so youve got the interview, how do you prepare? Well most of us adopt the Chicken Researcher approach, too embarrassed to speak to the company directly, relying on the Internet . On the other hand the Brave Researcher wants to know about the company, the culture, their jargon and the type of people who work there. They call all the departments that communicate information about the company, such as Sales, Marketing, Public Relations www.navdeepkumar.com 4. GO ALONE Go to an interview alone, youll get there faster and it looks incredibly unprofessional to arrive with someone. Get your support from friends and family before the interview www.navdeepkumar.com 5. ARRIVE ON TIME Arrive on time, not too early or too late. Why? Well, if you arrive too early, youll put pressure on the interviewer and theyll react badly to this and resent you disturbing their work. Arrive late and youll start the interview with an apology and provide the interviewer with evidence that youre not time conscious. Also starting with an apology puts you into a subordinate role in the interview as opposed to the role you want as an equal and possible future colleague www.navdeepkumar.com 6. MAKE A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION Although we all consider ourselves open-minded and fair, we usually make judgments about people in the first 2-5 minutes of meeting them. So, how do we make the right first impression? A smile. Direct eye contact for trust. Hello Im (first name) (last name). A firm but gentle handshake. www.navdeepkumar.com 7. BE EQUAL Dont take a subordinate role. Remember youre talking to a potential colleague and an equal, youre not asking for the job as a favor, you believe you have the skills and personality this company needs to continue being successful. There are two ways of viewing an interview, either as a problem- solving situation of the interviewer and me against the problem or as a confrontational situation of the interviewer against me. www.navdeepkumar.com 8. BE LIKE THE INTERVIEWER Align yourself with the interviewer. Daniel Go leman, the famous author of Emotional Intelligence, talks about the powerful psychological impact of, People like people who like them and People like people who ARE like them. So how can we use this in an interview? Well, one technique to use is Pacing. www.navdeepkumar.com 9. CONCENTRATE! The interview reaches its natural end you start to lose your concentration. Dont!
