How to Be Successful in a Job Interview

To be successful in a job interview or in almost any interview situation, the applicants² hould demonstrate certain personal and professional qualities.

Most likely, the first and often a lasting³ impression of a person is determined⁴ by the clothes he wears. The job applicant¹ should take care to appear well-groomed and modestly dressed, avoiding the extremes of too pompous⁵ or too casual attire⁶ .

Besides care for personal appearance, he should pay close attention to his manner of speaking, which should be neither ostentatious nor familiar but rather straight forward, grammatically accurate, and in a friendly way.

In addition, he should be prepared to talk knowledgeably⁷ about the requirements of the position, for which he is applying in relation to his own professional experience and interests.

And finally, the really impressive applicant must convey a sense of self-confidence and enthusiasm for work, as these are factors all interviewers value highly.

If the job seeker displays the above-mentioned characteristics, he, with a little luck, will certainly succeed in the typical personnel interview.
