Good reading! You might know all these tips before, but no harm to read the same topics again, sometime by reading them for the 2nd time, will reveal some new things! Today reading is about how to make good impression for a job interview, there are 4 presentation hints presented on this article, taken from Yahoo!
Watch and Listen to Yourself (Belajar self interview sambil ngaca, kurang lebihnya begitu, daripada pake istilah nge-tape/video kok kesannya ribet!)
"People are so used to texting and emailing in short phrases that they can get stuck putting together a few complete sentences," he observes. "It's better to opt for silence while you gather your thoughts, especially if you're nervous."
Of course, nervousness can also generate over-talking, expert advice is "We strongly suggest that respondents limit their answers to two minutes, at most."
Watching yourself on tape is also a good way to monitor things like dress -- too much cleavage, too-short cuffs -- and gestures, "People don't realize how many times they scratch their heads or flip their ties."
Maintain a Conversation (Intinya jangan kebanyakan ngomong juga!)
Mastering the art of presentation goes hand in hand with carefully packaging the content of what you want to get across. "The key idea is to remember that an interview is a two-way conversation designed to determine if there's a mutual fit.
A good formula, has you doing most of the talking for the first two-thirds of that conversation, and then ceding the floor to the interviewer. "That's your chance to ask lots of questions, which people tend to forget to do”
Assemble a list of talking points and make sure you get through them, "If you realize that this person's asked you one standard question after the next, look at your watch and say, 'I notice we're running out of time. There are a few things that I'd like to share with you. Is that OK?' Make their job easier for them."
Have Your Story Ready (Kalau menceritakan diri, yg menjual, jangan yg standard)
Ask yourself what's excited you in your career, what you've done on your own initiative, what's energized you? What stories can you relay that show your passion, initiative and resourcefulness?
"If you think about what's better because you were there, like in the movie 'It's A Wonderful Life,' you'll come up with some compelling anecdotes and you'll stand out,"
Skip the Scents (Hati hati, jangan sampai kewangian bisa bikin pusing, haha!)
Just make sure the impression you leave is a good one. "It can't be said enough, but skip the perfume". "This is not a date, and a lot of people are extremely sensitive to smell. If you give me a migraine headache, I'm not going to remember a word you said, and I'm not going to like you."
Ps; This is the shorten version of this article!
