Do not use words such as "um" and "ar", always think out a
question and answer politely and formally.
Do not leave long pauses between a question and an answer, if
you don't know the answer to something say so, or ask them to
explain it a little further.
Do not use slang words and use please and thank you.
Most importantly answer the question and the question only, do
not over elaborate answers to make them turn into a story.
Asking questions dos and don'ts
Do not ask questions about salary or time off or compensation, as
it will appear to the interviewers that you are only after money.
Pre job interview research about the company is great as you can
ask the company about there history, or the department the job is
in, Genuinely showing interest in what they do is a good thing.
Leaving the job interview dos and don'ts
When leaving the interview whether it went well or not, always
shake the interviewers hands and thank them for the job interview
and say "It was nice meeting you".
It is always great to leave the job interview on great terms,
especially with recruitment and how people swap there jobs a lot,
as one interviewer could be at another company in the future and
could well remember you, and you want to be remembered on
good terms.
Especially if you are in the running for the job, you want them to
think, WOW that person was really nice and polite and actually
bothered to shake our hands and say thank you.
Another good thing to do is to write each person that interviewed
you a thank you letter as well.
If you remember the dos and don'ts when going and partaking in a
job interview you should be fine, confident and it should be
recognized by the employer, and hopefully you will be able to get
that wonderful job you have been dreaming of.
