Some General Dos and Don’ts
Dos:
• Arrive in good time. The interview panel may be interviewing a lot of candidates so do not keep them waiting. Dress appropriately. Some organizations, especially technology companies, have a very casual dress code but, for most, a suit will be appropriate interview wear. Remember that you are being judged on the appearance that you present.
• Act appropriately, which usually means following the interviewer‟s lead. If you are offered a hand to shake, then shake it, by ut don‟t offer your own hand if nobody else seems interested.
• Engage with the interviewers. Smile, make eye contact, and build rapport.
• Answer the questions that are asked, using relevant examples where at all possible.
Don’ts:
• Be afraid to blow your own trumpet a bit. After all, nobody else is going to blow it for you. Do not lie or exaggerate. If you want the job, be enthusiastic and positive.
• Be over-familiar or share too much information. For example, the interviewers don‟t want to know how you‟re going to manage your childcare.
