First Impressions count. It is essential
therefore to ...
Look Your Best.
Well
presented people are generally considered to be more
attractive by prospective employers.
Say What You Mean.
Your goal is
to appear confident and to be believed. When talking
to an interviewer address them by their name. Avoid
talking for too long. Appear keen but not too
desperate for the job.
Be Prepared.
Do your
research on the organisation or Trust.
Work On Your Handshake.
A good firm
handshake is good.
Establish Good Eye Contact.
Eye contact
is the most remembered element in forming an
impression of someone. Try to maintain direct eye
contact with the interviewer.
Tune Into Your Body Language.
7% of our
feelings and attitudes come from the words we use.
38% from our voice, and 55% from our facial
expressions. Identify the little things you do when
you are tense, for example twirling a lock of hair
or playing with a pen. Train yourself to correct
these behaviours. Sit squarely in the chair, feet on
the floor and shoulders straight. Do not slouch or
jiggle your feet!
Be Yourself.
You will be
more relaxed. |
