The Art Form of Interviewing

You say your résumé is getting you interviews but you’re not getting the job.

Perhaps you need to take an objective look at what you’re doing during the interview. Here’s a short list of some of the things you should be doing during an interview.

1. Make eye contact with the interviewer
2. Have a firm but not bone crushing handshake (no limp noodles)
3. Dress appropriately
4. Present positive non-verbal signals
5. Use proper grammar
6. Good hygiene
7. Give honest, complete answers without rambling

Think of your interview as a sales meeting. You’re the product, so make sure you highlight your best features during the interview.
