Hello all. This week, I have two top 10's for you. The other day, I mentioned that I was able to go to the Atlanta Children's Shelter to work with the parents on tips and tricks for interviewing. So I wanted to give you the two top 10 lists I provided them. Enjoy!
Top Ten Do’s and Don’ts For an Interview
1. DON’T wear something that is too revealing or flashy.
Stick with dress pants or a knee length skirt. Conservative is the safer way to go!
2. DO be aware of your personal hygiene!
Take the time the morning of to shower, and brush your hair. First impressions are everything!
3. DON’T leave your cell phone on or answer it during an interview.
Turn it off or put it on silent. If you missed a call, return it once the interview is over.
4. DO bring a copy of your resume and any prepared questions.
Always be prepared!
5. DON’T chew gum during an interview.
It’s distracting and unprofessional.
6. DO wear a watch!
Plan on being there at least 10 minutes early!
7. DON’T use inappropriate language.
Try to avoid using slang. Keep the interview as professional as possible!
8. DO have a firm handshake.
It’s okay for women to have a firm handshake.
9. DON’T lie.
There is no need to lie if asked a question directly, but be careful about going into too much detail.
10. DO come with a positive attitude.
Treat all people you encounter with courtesy and respect. First impressions are everything, even that of the receptionist!
