Be professional
On the day of your interview, arrive on time and dress professionally. Even if the company has a casual work environment, your first appearance should always be formal. Always keep your demeanor or manner professional regardless of how the interview plays out and whether you are offered employment.
Take your time
Pause to think through a question before responding. Remember, your time is just as important as the interviewer’s. Even though you should try to answer as promptly and directly as possible, it is important that you provide meaningful answers to each question.
Act with grace
While this may sound like simple advice, remembering to say “thank you”, shaking hands, maintaining good eye contact and giving a warm smile are all necessary to portray a positive work attitude. Be polite towards every person you encounter or meet. While making a great impression during the interview is important, your top priority should be projecting yourself as a true professional who would be an asset or benefit to any employer.
