I got the call

This week has been a very interesting week to say the least. Last week I had 4 interviews lined up and I was happy to just get the call. 3 out of the 4 sounded just ok, not really what I wanted but so what, who cares right? Sounding enthusiastic on the phone is key to getting the one and one interview. I always ask the interviewer what time and day would be good for them and build my schedule around that. "Sure I can come in at 2:42 pm on a Tuesday, sounds perfect thanks!"
The first impression is crucial wether we like to think it is or not We all make judgements within the first few minutes of meeting someone new. Especially in the industry where I have gone on a few interviews you are judged all the more so. Its an industry based upon looks. Anyways So here are a few of my tips that go across the board for interviewing:
1. Always look the part: do the research on the company, find out what they represent or any recent events they have done
2. Be enthusiastic but not too much: you want to seem excited about the job, not give them the desperate impression. There is a fine line, know what you are willing to do, what you can handle, and what you feel you could contribute and emphasize that.
3. Ask questions: I mean talk to the person on a more personal level, its ok to ask some personal questions about their job or how their day is going. Just don't get too carried away.
4. Don't use two words when you can use one
5. Make eye contact but don't stare, the creepy vibe never works in your favor
6. Leave on a good note, smile, thank them for their time, shake hands and walk away. If you really want the job follow up with a thank you card or email, it never hurts and can make you stand out in the crowd.
These are just a few of my tips and people do hire on the spot
