3.03: ATTENDING AN INTERVIEW
HOW TO COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY IN A
JOB INTERVIEW.
1) Before the interview
a) Spend an hour ahead of time listing positive traits
about your. Highlight some of these attributes in your
interview.
b) Cpnduct a mock interview with a friend or
business associate and evaluate your
communication skills. If there are topics that your
interviewer didn't fully understand, work on ways to
make them clearer for your real interview.
c) Speak while looking in a mirror. Pay attention to
any nervous habits, such as excessive hand
movement, poor eye or awkward long pauses.
2) During the interview
a) Be a great listener. This will help you understand
exactly what you are being asked and how you
should answer.
b) Show poise at all times by taking your time before
you answer.
c) Avoid long, run-on answers by asking for
clarification if you don't understand a certain
question.
d) Tell the truth. If your information in an interview is
not consistent with your resume, you will not likely
be offered a job. The easiest way to communicate
effectively and truthfully is to emphasize your strong
points.
3) After the interview: evaluate your perfomance
a) Confirm that your interviewer has received all the answers
that he / she needs to know.
b) Ask a few questions of your own at the end of a job
interview to show that you are just as interested in the
position as the interviewr is in hiring you.
c) Leave your contact information so that potential employers
can contact you if they have any follow-u questions.
4) Criteria to be good communicators
a) If you stutter, it can feel like it affects your communication
on every level. But there is more to communication than just
speech! Everyone can learn to be a better communicator by
understanding more about good communciation skills.
b) Conversation work best when both people use good
communication skills. To be a good communicator you
should:
i. Look at people when you talk to them.
ii. Stand at an appropriate personal distance-not too close but
not too far away.
iii. Speak clearly and slowly.
iv. Be aware of the situation you are in and use the
appropriate language.
