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.
