Don’t be the kind of person only a mother would hire!

Nervous about that big job interview? Don’t let it show!

Take a deep breath, put your game face on, and check out these tips to help you make the best impression possible:

Be confident. Be proud of your abilities – you were invited to an interview interview – so you’ve clearly got something the employers like! But remember: There is fine balance between confident and arrogance.

Show how your strengths will benefit the company. You are being assessed not only for whether your personality will fit within the team’s culture but also if you have the skills the company needs.

Give examples.Being able to discuss the facts and figures is impressive. But can you apply them to practical scenarios in your work?

First impressions count. Within thirty seconds of meeting you, the interviewer will have made up their mind about you. A great deal of someone’s first impression will be determined by your body language – so sit up tall, smile, and give a nice firm handshake.

Don’t be the first to talk about money. Being too quick to ask about salary and benefits will put the interviewer off. You need to show that you are interested in the role and the mission of the company more than the paycheck.

Take note of these tips and you will impress any interviewer.
