发帖数: 26 | 1 Interviewing Primer
Do NOT bring chewing gum, cell phone, Ipod, coffee or soda on an interview.
Clothing says a great deal about you.
Appropriate attire supports your image as a person who takes the interview
process
seriously.
Your attire should be appropriate and fit well but it should not take center
stage. If
you’re primarily remembered for your interview attire, this is probably
because you made
an error in judgment.
Interview Attire Guidelines for Men and Women
A two-piece matched suit is always the best and safest choice.
Conservative colors are best, Navy, dark gray (black for women) are safe.
Solids or very subtle weave patterns are safest.
Wool, wool blends, or other good quality natural and synthetic fibers, are
generally the
best fabrics in all seasons.
Avoid lower quality acetate fabrics. One good quality suit is sufficient for
a job search;
you can vary your shirt/blouse and tie/accessories.
Everything should be clean and well pressed.
Carefully inspect clothes for tags, dangling threads, etc.
Additional interview attire specifically for men
Don’t combine a suit jacket with pants that don’t match – a two- piece
matched suit is
always the best choice.
Navy and dark gray are safe and the most conservative for men
Ties – select good quality silk ties.
Avoid fashion extremes, like character ties, in interviews
Shirts – wear long-sleeves shirts, even in summer. Choose white or light
blue solid, or
conservative stripes. Avoid being trendy.
Socks – Dark socks, mid-calf length so no skin is visible when you sit down.
Shoes – leather, lace or slip-on business shoes, preferably black or
cordovan. Invest in a
good pair; even if you don’t wear them daily on the job, you’ll need them
for other
occasions.
Belt – black or cordovan leather, to match your shoes.
Facial hair – if worn, should be well-groomed.
Jewelry – wear a conservative watch.
Additional interview attire specifics for women
Suit – wear a two-piece matched suit, skirt or pants is appropriate.
Skirt length – A skirt that ends at the knee when you’re standing looks
professional.
High slits in skirts are not appropriate.
Color/fabric – Navy, dark gray, brown and black are safe. Choose a solid or
very subtle
weave pattern. Wool, wool blends and high quality blends are appropriate for
suits.
Shirt-sweaters – Underneath the suit jacket, wear a tailored blouse in a
color or small
print that coordinates nicely with your suit. A good quality knit shell is
also appropriate
underneath your suit jacket. Don’t show cleavage.
Jewelry/accessories – Wear a conservative watch. Keep your choices simple,
and lean
towards conservative, if you wear other jewelry and or a scarf.
Cosmetics – Keep makeup conservative. A little is usually better than none
for a
polished look. Nails should be clean and well groomed. Avoid extremes of
nail length
and polish color.
Shoes – should be leather or fabric. Choose closed-toe pumps. Avoid
extremes no
stilettos or chunky platforms.
Hosiery – Should be plainly styled (no patterns), sheer is most
conservative (not opaque)
and in neutral colors complementing your suit. Avoid high contrast between
your suit
and hosiery color.
Purse/bag – A business-like tote bad is ideal for interviews. It can carry
your extra CV’s
and any other papers you might need, and personal items can be concealed
within. If you
also carry a purse, keep it small and simple. Tote/purse should coordinate
with your
overall attire; it does not have to match your shoes, but should not clash
in style and
color. Your tote/purse should not look like beach/pool totes, have bold
prints, or look
little-girlish.
Grooming and Accessory Tips for Men and Women
Hair should be clean and neat.
Shoes should be in polished condition and make sure heels are not worn.
Details – no missing buttons, no lint; and don’t forget to remove external
tag from new
clothing.
Hands – clean fingernails.
Fit – Clothes should be clean, neatly pressed, and fit properly.
Smell – Perfume or cologne should be used sparingly or not at all. Remember
some
people have allergies/sensitivities. No odors in clothes. Don’t smell like
smoke.
Padfolios/business bags – always wise for holding paper to take notes and
to hold other
documents you may need to bring and receive. Business like totes or small
briefcases are
also appropriate. Backpacks, book bags – not appropriate for an interview.
Be polite and courteous on the interview. Do not interrupt when someone else
is
speaking.
Behave enthusiastically towards everyone you meet, - and medical personnel.
Look everyone in the eye, shake their hand, and don’t rush to look away.
Talk with the
individual and ask them questions about their hospital.
Bring extra, clean copies of your CV
Do not bring up salary or remuneration unless you are directly asked.
Arrive early for the interview
Make sure you obtain business cards at the end of the interview for your
thank you notes
Avoid drinking alcohol and eat light before the interview.
Thank the interviewer and express your gratitude for the interviewer’s time.
A few things that interviewers look for when interviewing a candidate:
*Be confident in who you are what you have to offer. Know your strengths and
be
prepared to talk about them if asked.
*Look directly at the interviewer. Don’t stare but when you answer
questions, connect
with the interviewer
*Tell a story. When asked about things you’ve done that you are proud of or
obstacles
you’ve overcome, have a story to tell the interviewer.
*Sit up straight. Slouching comes off as lazy or uninterested. You want your
body
language to demonstrate that you’re fully engaged.
*Relax – you want to sit up straight while also letting yourself relax a
little.
*Practice – spend time before the job interview doing mock interviews with
friends.
Record yourself to hear your voice and if your voice sounds kind of weak,
practice
speaking with strength and commitment.
*Know about the job and the organization – There is so much on the internet
, take time to
do research beforehand.
*Make sure that you know your own CV – Nothing casts more doubt on your
veracity
than having to glance through your resume to answer questions. Study it
carefully before
the interview.
*Listen – Really listen to the questions and whatever the interviewer is
saying to you.
Avoid thinking ahead or about other things while the interviewer is talking.
*Come prepared with a few really good questions of your own to ask the
interviewer.
A great question shows you’re thinking about the work process or some of
the
interactions with other areas.
*Remember to smile! By doing so you’re letting the interviewer know that
you’re a
pleasant person to work with.
*When the interview is over, stand up, smile, thank the interviewer and
shake hands.
Qualities Job Interviewers Look For
*Energy – Humans are drawn to energetic people because energy is contagious.
*Good manners – Dressing appropriately, sitting up straight, maintaining
eye contact,
waiting to sit until your interviewer is seated, all demonstrate good
manners.
*Maturity– Mature people know how to focus on the needs of others; immature
people
are just interested in themselves.
*Cheerful nature. A positive attitude, a smile, and an easygoing attitude
tells an
employer you will be a pleasure to work with.
*Ability to cooperate with others. Be pleasant to receptionist-colleagues.
Show that you
would be an asset to the organization.
*Punctuality. The reason you need to be on time for an interview is that
this is the
interviewer’s first clue that you can meet your responsibilities.
*Resilience. Can you still perform when the going gets tough? Think of
examples from
your personal and professional life and be prepared to discuss them if asked
to do so.
*Flexibility/adaptability – Interviewers sometimes ask an unexpected
questions just to
see how you react. | m******r
