Dressing for Interview Success


24/51

4.All Eyes Are on You

Your choice of eyewear can also be

considered a part of your interview

dress.

Glasses or contacts? For those of you

who have this choice available, consider it

wisely.

If you have the option of wearing contacts

versus glasses, use the following as the

guideline for which to wear:

1. Contacts: people positions

(consulting,sales, advertising, customer

service, etc.)2. Glasses: data/things positions

(accounting, information systems,

engineering, etc.)

5.Winning the Body Language Game

Everyone uses body

language during the

Interview,

but very few think about

it in advance and

modify their body

language to produce

the most positive effect.

What you say is

NOT nearlyas important as

how you say it.


39/51

The Most Important Aspect of

InterviewingWhat can you do to set yourself apart in

your interview?

The most important aspect of successfulinterviewing is not your experience, yourdegree or your resume. Thats what got youthe interview.

The key to successful interviewing can besummed up in one word: PASSION

Its your passion for the job that will set youapart from the crowd.


40/51

The Second Most ImportantAspect of Interviewing

Why is attitude so important?

Because most companies already have their full

share of multitalented superstars,who care about

no one but themselves.


41/51

The Most Important InterviewNonverbals

Many interviews fail because of lack of

proper communication.But communication is more than just what

you say.


42/51

Being Sincerely Honest

A person who uses such qualifiers is implying by

their usage that they typically are not being honest.

If you are being honest all the time (which you

should be), there is no need to use these kinds of qualifiers.


43/51

The Show-and-Tell Technique

If appropriate feel free to

bring samples or copies of your

work to the interview as concrete

examples of your capabilities.

Use reports, projects, photos,

programs, or whatever it is that

provides a tangible example of

what you have done.


44/51

Telling me what you have done

is NOT nearlyas impressive as

showing me what you have done.


45/51

Whom Would You Believe?

Before you can possibly convince me as the

interviewer that you are right for the job,

you have to believe it yourself.

Its amazing how many candidates seem tentative

and reluctant to express confidence in their own

abilities. Remember, you are all alone once the

interview starts. No one will sell you if you dont

sell yourself.


46/51

How can I believe in you if you dont believe in you?

I am not here to sell you on our company until after you sell me.

Once you have sold me on you, I will sell you on the position and the company,

but not until then. So dont expect the interviewer to tell you why you are rightfor the job. That is your job.

Professor Peter Smith,

President of the International Association for Cross-Culture Psychology.


47/51

Your job is

to sell me on you.

9.The Visualization Technique

The use of mental visualization can be

extremely helpful in preparing for your

interview.

You can, by visualization, experience your

coming interview, including a rehearsal of

how you would react in specific situations.


49/51

Share your vision with me.

If I am unable to see it, lend me

your eyes so that I may also see.

It is your vision,

but you must give it away for others

to see it and help you achieve it.
