3. RESEARCH THE COMPANY
First, so you’ve got the interview, how do you
prepare? Well most of us adopt the “Chicken
Researcher” approach, too embarrassed to speak
to the company directly, relying on the Internet .
On the other hand the “Brave Researcher” wants
to know about the company, the culture, their
jargon and the type of people who work there.
They call all the departments that communicate
information about the company, such as Sales,
Marketing, Public Relations

4. GO ALONE
Go to an interview alone, you’ll get
there faster and it looks incredibly
unprofessional to arrive with someone.
Get your support from friends and
family before the interview

5. ARRIVE ON TIME
Arrive on time, not too early or too late. Why? Well, if
you arrive too early, you’ll put pressure on the
interviewer and they’ll react badly to this and resent
you disturbing their work. Arrive late and you’ll start
the interview with an apology and provide the
interviewer with evidence that you’re not time
conscious. Also starting with an apology puts you into
a subordinate role in the interview as opposed to the
role you want as an equal and possible future
colleague

6. MAKE A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION
Although we all consider ourselves open-minded and fair,
we usually make judgments about people in the first 2-5
minutes of meeting them. So, how do we make the right
first impression?
•A smile.
•Direct eye contact for trust.
•“Hello I’m (first name) (last name)”.
•A firm but gentle handshake.

7. BE EQUAL
Don’t take a subordinate role. Remember you’re
talking to a potential colleague and an equal, you’re
not asking for the job as a favor, you believe you
have the skills and personality this company needs
to continue being successful. There are two ways
of viewing an interview, either as a problem-
solving situation of “the interviewer and me
against the problem” or as a confrontational
situation of “the interviewer against me”.

8. BE LIKE THE INTERVIEWER
Align yourself with the interviewer. Daniel Go
leman, the famous author of “Emotional
Intelligence,” talks about the powerful
psychological impact of, “People like people who
like them” and “People like people who ARE like
them”. So how can we use this in an interview?
Well, one technique to use is “Pacing.”

9. CONCENTRATE!
The interview reaches its natural end you start
to lose your concentration. Don’t! Maintain
concentration and be as attentive as possible,
continue listening for information, names, titles,
buzz words, etc. to use in the second interview
or follow-up letter! How? One technique is to
drink a coffee before the interview to maintain
your concentration for longer.
