How Should I Act?
Show Confidence
You need to portray a confident and positive
image when you attend your interview. A defeatist attitude or the impression of one,
should be avoided, as it will probably cost you the job. Show confidence in your abilities without appearing
arrogant.
You are trying to demonstrate to the interviewer that you have all the
required attributes of a successful applicant, and that you will fit in well with your potential
colleagues. Describe your accomplishments accurately but modestly, and without going into too much
detail.
And understand that body language plays an important part in conveying
to others how you feel at any time. So, sit up straight and keep your head up. Practice good
posture.
Show a Positive Attitude
Endeavour to keep smiling and to maintain a positive demeanour during
your interview. If something that is said, suggests to you that you aren't doing
well or that you don't have a good answer ready, whatever you do, don't look concerned or worried. Keep smiling
until it is your turn to speak. If you have questions or concerns, put them to the interviewer when the time is
right.
