Leaving a Good Impression

Decision-Making

Decide well what you want to do even if it is just a temporary job/summer job.

Page 3: Leaving a good impression at a Work Interview :)

Dress appropriately.

Remember that what you’re wearing speaks before you!

Manners are Essential

Body Language cannot be taken for granted. You might be sending different messages than what

you would like your interviewers to know.

Security and Confidence

When you go for an interview, be sure you aim high and always refer to phrases like : “In the

eventuality of getting this job, I will be able to ...” on the contrary of these Insecurity Guards

What we did so far?

And who said that presentation doesn’t matter!

Don’t forget a clean haircut and strictly no sunglasses!

Punctuality

Very important – Always be a couple of minutes early (10-15 minutes) and do not take anyone

else with you to the interview not even if s/he will wait outside.

Prepare a CV and an application letter

Make sure it has absolutely no mistakes! Mistakes on a CV show that you might be careless and

that you never check your work before you hand it in. It is best to follow the Euro Pass Format.

Hobbies and Other Interests

Try to link qualities from your hobbies and interests with qualities that the interviewer may find

resourceful and worth noting. Example : Portfolio and Certificates

References Make sure you gather references from people who know you have worked with them in the past and that would be willing to vouch for you. If you have never worked before your first references might be teachers, assistant head teachers, head teacher, any other leader in different organisations that you might be part of.

Interview Jargon Make sure you know what the employers are looking for. Memorise some keywords and make sure you add them through your answers to impress. If you don’t know their meaning, look them up well and make sure you use them in the right context.

Be sincere and realistic.

Nothing beats honesty. Be careful how you phrase your answers.

Page 13: Leaving a good impression at a Work Interview :)

Persuasion

Be concise and persuasive. Interviewers see many people, one after the other. Make sure you

stand out from the crowd for the right reasons.

Page 14: Leaving a good impression at a Work Interview :)

Formality

An interview is not a mere conversation with someone who might give you a job. It should be

formal so keep calm and collected but try to leave the cool part out!

Page 15: Leaving a good impression at a Work Interview :)

Tricky Questions & Exploitation

Do not say yes immediately for everything that the interviewer asks. If you do not know

something or might be sensing something fishy do not commit or sign any papers.

Over-Confidence

Apart from being formal, try to keep everything within the context. As the one being

interviewed you are still under test! And you cannot threaten the interviewers either!

Self-Esteem

Show your true colours. If you’re courageous, give an example. If you’re decisive, a team-player,

a hard worker, do not be afraid to talk about it.

Are you ready to join the workforce? Do not be afraid of this step. Everyone learns in steps. If we had to compare this situation with learning how to dance, it certainly takes time to learn to dance in a very co-ordinated and natural way. At work, it takes time to establish yourself and to start shining. No matter what, Do not give up!
