JOB INTERVIEW TECHNIQUE
There are several interview technique s one can use during the actual interview
Attention Aware Interview technique :
Limit you amount of talking. Interviews have only a limited attention time, to be specific there is only about 80 seconds where you have the interviews attention. After you start replying to an Interview Question
The back ground to the Interview technique is :
As you start your reply to the interview question, you interviews has full attention. As more time passes his attention is decreasing rapidly. After 60 seconds, you have basically lost him/her. So aim to deliver the answer in less than 60 seconds. Delivering your highlight after 60 seconds will not necessarily reach the interviewers head! If you are not convinced by the level of detail you have given. Ask: "Do you want me to expand more on this?"
Ask Questions Interview Technique :
Engage the interviewer by asking questions. Asking Questions improves your relations with the interviewer, and you will be more easily remembered after the interview. Interviewers are impressed by the interest you show in the job, sometimes even more the selling points you have. If you can manage to get your interviewer talking about himself, you are doing great!
INTERVIEW BODY LANGUAGE
Handshake: A dry, firm hand shake reflects a strong personality and is what most employers are looking for. Limp, sweaty hands are definitely a no. This is the first body language in the interview that your interviewer will "read".
Hands: Do not exaggerate hand gestures when you are talking. Try answering an interview question in front of a mirror to help you understand how much you move your hands while talking.
Eye Contact: Maintain eye contact but do not stare. If you are uncomfortable with this kind of body language look at the interviewer's nose as it has the same effect. Do not let your eyes wander away from your interviewer.
Posture: Reflects energy, enthusiasm and self control. Stand and sit erect. Slouching does not reflect a positive attitude in interview body language.
Fidget: Simple - do not fidget. Avoid playing with you hair, clicking pens and the like.
