    INTERVIEW TIPS

    Even the smartest and most qualified job seekers need to prepare for job interviews. Why, you ask?
    Interviewing is a learned skill, and there are no second chances to make a great first impression. So
    study these 10 strategies to enhance your interview IQ from Monster's Career Advice

    Practice Good Nonverbal Communication


    It's about demonstrating confidence: standing straight, making eye contact and connecting with a good,
    firm handshake. That first impression can be a great beginning -- or quick ending -- to your interview.

    Dress for the Job or Company


    Today's casual dress codes do not give you permission to dress as "they" do when you interview. It is
    important to look professional and well-groomed. Whether you wear a suit or something less formal
    depends on the company culture and the position you are seeking. If possible, call to find out about the
    company dress code before the interview.

    Listen
    From the very beginning of the interview, your interviewer is giving you information, either directly or
    indirectly. If you are not hearing it, you are missing a major opportunity. Good communication skills
    include listening and letting the person know you heard what was said. Observe your interviewer, and
    match that style and pace.

    Don't Talk Too Much


    Telling the interviewer more than he needs to know could be a fatal mistake. When you have not
    prepared ahead of time, you may tend to ramble, sometimes talking yourself right out of the job.
    Prepare for the interview by reading through the job posting, matching your skills with the position's
    requirements and relating only that information.

    Don't Be Too Familiar


    The interview is a professional meeting to talk business. This is not about making a new friend. Your
    level of familiarity should mimic the interviewer's demeanor. It is important to bring energy and
    enthusiasm to the interview and to ask questions, but do not overstep your place as a candidate looking
    for a job.

    Use Appropriate Language


    It's a given that you should use professional language during the interview. Be aware of any
    inappropriate slang words or references to age, race, religion, politics or sexual orientation -- these
    topics could send you out the door very quickly.
    Don't Be Cocky
    Attitude plays a key role in your interview success. There is a fine balance between confidence,
    professionalism and modesty. Even if you're putting on a performance to demonstrate your ability,
    overconfidence is as bad, if not worse, as being too reserved.

    Take Care to Answer the Questions


    When an interviewer asks for an example of a time when you did something, he is seeking a sample of
    your past behavior. If you fail to relate a specific example, you not only don't answer the question, but
    you also miss an opportunity to prove your ability and talk about your skills.

    Ask Questions
    When asked if they have any questions, most candidates answer, "No." Wrong answer. It is extremely
    important to ask questions to demonstrate an interest in what goes on in the company. Asking
    questions also gives you the opportunity to find out if this is the right place for you. The best questions
    come from listening to what is asked during the interview and asking for additional information.

    Don't Appear Desperate


    When you interview with the "please, please hire me" approach, you appear desperate and less
    confident. Maintain the three C's during the interview: cool, calm and confident. You know you can do
    the job; make sure the interviewer believes you can, too.
