Interviewing for a job can be a very stressful event for some, however, there are tons of information out there that if categorized into do’s and don’ts, can help create a favorable and memorable impact. Some categories that have been explained in detail include: punctuality, appearance, body language, introductions and potential questions.
Being punctual shows your potential employer that you are not only dependable but can organize your time wisely. To accomplish this, you should map out the most convenient route to the interview location the day before. The day of the interview, you should allow yourself enough time to reflect or mentally prepare for the upcoming event after the drive to the location site. You should also arrive at the office lobby at least 10 minutes early (Johnston, 2015). Being late to or canceling an interview can hinder your professional success so avoid it at all costs. Should you find yourself being arriving late or needing to cancel your interview, acknowledge your mistake, express regret and don’t dwell on it (Cavazos, 2014).
Your body language can say quite a bit about you than any words during an interview. To make sure that your body language leaves a lasting impression, do smile at everyone. Smiling is the most impacting body language you can use (Johnston, 2015). You should also attempt to maintain eye contact with your interviewer. Should there be more than one interviewer, strive to hold eye contact as evenly as possible with each. This
When learning about interviews, I got the opportunity to learn from classmates questions they were asked and the kind of environment they were asked in. This helped to give me an idea of what to expect in the future. I also felt relieved that I wasn’t the only one that gets nervous in these situations but that it’s important to push those nerves aside and act confident. In interviews, they look for confidence and people who want to work there. It’s important to show interest in the job you are applying
BCOM 103: NON VERBAL COMMUNICATION PART A 1. PHYSICAL CARE AND CLOTHING You should look good and clean.

The first thing I did was book a day and time for the interview, I also made sure that I was prepared in advance for the interview in terms of the questions.

I thought this part was so important as it gave me knowledge on how to really nail an interview. The rule that struck me the most was rule number four; the one that said to be interesting. To be remembered, one simply has to me memorable. Being memorable or interesting can sometimes be hard, but it something that will definitely give me a leg up on other candidates. I had to think about what makes me interesting. I came up with two different things, one being more mature/professional and one just for fun. Something professional about me is my will to work. Through college, I have managed so far to go to school full-time while also working two part-time jobs (one on campus and one at home.) This, I believe, makes me have good time management and prioritizing skills. It shows that I am focused on the important things in life and also shows my willingness to work. Something kind of fun that makes me interesting is that I recently was on the game show, Family Feud with Steve Harvey. My family members and I were flown down to Atlanta in May of 2016. The experience was life changing as I learned so much about other families from all around the country, and also got to bond with my family members even more. It is an experience I will never forget and is definitely something that not everyone can say they
A nonverbal behavior I display is a gentle and warm smile, I believe even if you do not know the people you encounter or interact with on a daily basis, it is important to greet them with a smile. A smile goes a long way and makes the encounter or interaction with people more comfortable.

As suggested by Giordano and Rich, “interviews should be structured so the same open-ended, job-related questions are asked of each applicant.” An interview guide should be included in the process as a separate document that would define how to construct and ask the right questions. Additionally, a list of inappropriate and potentially illegal topics would be beneficial. Giordano and Rich further suggest that each applicant completes a form detailing their experience and training activities relevant to the position. (Giordano and Rich, ch
The best tip for overcoming interviewing anxiety is preparation. I learn this tip from my mother who was a supervisor for 15+ years. Preparation is one the greatest way I have use to overcome interviewing anxiety. Remembering that a certain amount of anxiety in a stressful circumstance is healthy. Sometimes a bit of anticipation and nervousness may make a person sharper and help with their performance. I always do my homework, before an interview this helps me feel more confident.

Today’s social media impacts the way that we learn these morals and are much more commonly spread. Before technology, all stories were told by word or written down, but now they are much easier to access for everyone; spreading our history and morals from the past.
