How to Interview Successfully

  if your resume has done its job you will be contacted about an interview.  Many
companies will conduct one or two phone interviews before asking you to come in person.
 It may seem obvious, but how you appear and behave during an interview will make a big
impression on an employer. 
An applicant should:

 Dress appropriately - a good default for companies is business attire (e.g. a suit). Seldom if ever will an
employer be turned off by a candidate who is dressed "too professionally" for an interview.
 
 Visit the place ahead of time - do drive to the interview location the day beforehand so that you are clear
on the best route to take, which building to enter, etc. Even taking this small step will introduce a sense of
familiarity, and help diminish anxiety the day of the interview.
 
 Make good eye contact - a good rule of thumb is to make a note of the color of the other person's eyes.
 
 Be professional and courteous to everyone, not just the person interviewing you - many employers pay
a lot of attention to impressions you make on other members of their staff (e.g. administrative personnel).
Poor behavior towards other staff reflects badly on your character, and can mean the difference between
receiving an offer or not--regardless of how well the "official" portion of the interview went.
 The key concept behind a successful interview is to help employers visualize you in the
role--and you accomplish this by asking well-informed questions, clearly pointing out how
your skills and abilities make you a good fit for the position, and drawing on insider
information and terminology you learned during your informational interviews. 
Negotiating Your Offer

 In most cases you have the ability to have a great deal of influence over the terms of your
contract. This is another instance where all of that advanced planning back in the Self-
Assessment stage, in which you identified which aspects of a job are very important to you
(e.g. making lots of money, comprehensive benefits) and which are not as important to you
(e.g. working regular hours, having a flexible work schedule), will come into play.
 The amount of negotiating leverage you have depends on a number of factors, such as how
many other candidates applied for the job, whether or not the search has been going on for
a long time, whether the organization is flexible or rigid, and others).
Negotiation & Salary

Many of the terms which you may include in your negotiation may be guided own personal
needs or preferences.  However the most commonly pursued type of negotiation involves
salary.  Many candidates find themselves at a loss regarding the typical salaries for their
potential position.  Fortunately, there are a multitude of resources available to help students
navigate that process.
List of phrases to be avoided

 
 “I’m currently making…” – don’t tell them exactly how much you’re earning at the moment
because it may reduce your chances of getting better pay.
 “My desired salary is…” – don’t mention the specific amounts, always leave yourself a margin
to negotiate.
 “I want more…” – such phrases can be used with your private life or when you are a child, an
interview is not a wish concert, you have to diplomatically claim your rights.
 “No” or “Yes” – try not to use these words during negotiations in order not to close them
prematurely, the recruiter should finish the negotiations or if they are not satisfactory for you,
you can always say that you will think about it.
 “Sorry” – you have nothing to apologise for. Negotiating your salary is your privilege and don’t
be afraid to take advantage of it even if you don’t have enough experience.
Thank You!
