Issue date: 10/31/08 Section: Editorial/Opinion
Instead, tell your interviewer about a time when you solved a problem, then try to explain how this could relate to the company and your performance at the company.
Your interviewer needs to see how you would fit into the company, so try to make it easy for him or her!
Tip 4: Appearance and body language are important:
It is important to come across as a professional, so dress the part. But, keep in mind it is important to be comfortable in what you are wearing.
Get your suit tailored if it does not fit right. And make sure you can walk confidently in the shoes you choose. Also, body language is important. Sit up straight and face your interviewer, look them in the eyes, and lean forward a little so that they know you are interested in the conversation. It is important to come off confident- but not cocky!
To learn more about interviewing, Professor Leatham's COM 351 course gives students an opportunity to take part in a mock interview. Career Services in Roosevelt Hall is always a great resource, or stop by our meetings in the Memorial Union room 308, Tuesdays at 5 p.m.
