Knowing proper job interview etiquette is an important part of a successful interview. How you dress, your demeanor, how you greet the interviewer, can make a big difference in the outcome of the interview. Here are etiquette tips for before, during and after a job interview.
4. JOB INTERVIEW ETIQUETTE TIPS
- What to Wear to a Job Interview. Your image makes the first impression on the interviewer. Example: A neat suit or shirt. If you are applying for a job in a more casual setting, such as a shop or restaurant, it is still important to appear neat and present a positive image to the employer.
- What to Bring to a Job Interview. If you're an applicant for a tech or web job and want to show samples of your work, it's fine to bring a laptop or tablet with you to show the interviewer what you've accomplished. Do not enter the interview room with anything to eat or drink. Your cell phone must be turned off so as not to interrupt the interview session.
- When to Get to a Job Interview. Know how to get to the interview location. Check the logistics ahead of time, so you make sure you're not running late. If necessary, head to the restrooms to make sure you don't have messy hair, makeup, or clothes that aren't working.
- How to Greet the Interviewer. Introduce yourself to the receptionist. Tell them who you are and who you are scheduled to meet with. Greet your interviewer with a firm handshake and introduce yourself.
- The Best Way to Respond to Interview Questions. When you respond to an interview question, listen carefully to the question, take time to express your response, and ask the interviewer to repeat the question if you're not sure what they asked. Do your best and show that you will benefit the company if you are hired.
- What to Give the Interviewer. Bring extra copies of your resume, just in case the interviewer needs a copy. Print a list of three references, including contact information for each reference, ready to offer to the recruiter at the end of the interview. Bring a pen and notepad just in case there is important information.
- How to Close an Interview. Towards the end of the interview, let the hiring manager know that you think the job is a great fit and that you are very interested in the job. Ask what the next steps are in the hiring. Finally, thank the interviewer for the time they spent interviewing you.
- Be Prepared for a Phone Interview. Phone interview etiquette is just as important as in-person job interview etiquette, as they both move you to the next stage of the hiring process. Review phone interview etiquette tips and techniques so you can master the interview.
- Keep Your Table Manners. Dining with a prospective employee allows employers to review your communication and interpersonal skills, as well as your table manners, in a more casual environment. Good manners can give you the edge over another candidate.
- Follow Up With a Thank You Note. Taking the time to say thank you shows that you appreciate the interview. In addition to saying thank you, refer to anything the interviewer mentioned that interests you and summarize why you think the job is a good fit and why you are the best candidate for the job.
