English communication—What Not to do at the Interview

So many different social situations to deal with in your life.

What about interviewing?

Keep these tips in mind—What Not to do at the Interview

• Don’t let your eyes wander to the floor, ceiling, or walls of the interviewer’s office. Instead, maintain eye contact with the interviewer.
• Don’t forget to research the company. Know the hot or important issues before going into an interview. Check out the website.  Expand out and search out business or specific industry related publications for information to give you the back story for issues of current importance.
• Don’t interrupt or answer too quickly. Listen carefully to questions and answer each one before giving more information on other points.  Be specific and give examples.
• Don’t forget to maintain your professionalism including your e-mail address and telephone voice mail message. Speak as clear as you can for your voice mail message.
• Don’t forget to say thank you. Sending a thank you note after an interview demonstrates an attention to detail and courtesy which helps you stand out for the interviewer.
