#1 Tread softly on the amount of personal information you divulge to the secretary, interviewer, or any other member of the company.
#2 Focus on and avoid personal habits, such as biting nails, tapping of feet, and twitching. Avoid habits that can reflect negatively on your candidacy.
#3 Utilize the interviewer's name, if possible. For example, "Good morning, Mr. Blake." Look Mr. Blake in the eyes when speaking to him, or listening to him as well.
#4 Concentrate on posture, and how your legs are crossed. If you're leaning forward, you may look eager and possibly unprofessional.
#5 Connect with the interviewer by asking about the company's needs, identifying challenges and by providing answers specifically focused towards those needs and challenges.
#6 Interviewers often interview candidates who go out of their way to impress, appearing "artificial." Don't be one of those people.
#7 Listen, relax, and provide targeted answers ... don't babble.
#8 Speak calmly and take your time thinking about and answering questions.
Exit InterviewPerformed at the end of employment; appropriately named the exit interview. Not all companies perform exit interviews on former employees.
Lunch Interview An interview around a meal is not an unheard of interviewing technique.
Panel InterviewMuch like a phone interview, panel interviews are popular because interviewing procedures are modified so those involved in the hiring decision can meet, question, and later discuss each candidate.
Phone Interview Partaking in a phone interview seems to take pressure off the interviewing process, however, it does not.
