The interview is a very important part of the working experience in the
The first is appearance. The standard1 rule is to dress at least as well as the recruiter2. If you are not sure what the recruiter will wear, a business suit is always appropriate. Make sure you have a clean and neat appearance. Although you will probably not be judged solely3 on the basis of your looks, the first impression is usually a lasting one. Next is your résumé. Make sure this is up-to-date and accurate: employers usually seek verification4 for everything written on your résumé. Finally, be prepared to answer questions on your strengths, knowledge of the position for which you are applying, and the goals of the company.
Make sure you arrive on time for the interview, or even a few minutes beforehand. You will give a bad impression if you are late, and you might even lose your chance for the interview. When you GREet the recruiter, whether that person is male or female, you should always give a firm handshake and a sincere smile.
When you enter the office, the recruiter will ask you to sit down, and then ask you several questions regarding your résumé. The recruiter may then ask you about your personal strengths, and how they can benefit the company. He or she may also inquire about your past work experience, and how you get along with people. Social skills are extremely important at American companies. Employees usually need to work in teams or deal with other people in the office, so the ability to communicate well is vital5 to a work environment.
