Your overall attitude has a lot to do with how your prospective employers
perceive you and your candidacy for the position they are hiring for. There are a
couple of things that you can do to make sure that your prospective employer or
interview you sees you in the right light and does not get the wrong idea. Here
are two things that you absolutely need to keep in mind -
Dishonesty - You should never, ever lie to an employer under any circumstances to get the position that you want. By lying or being dishonest in general, you are greatly undermining your own abilities and strengths, and you are destroying any trust or rapport that has been developed by the interviewer.
If you are unable to get the position that you want based on your current skills or potential skills and accomplishments, then you probably should not be applying for that particular position anyway. Applying for a position that is beyond your capabilities is simply asking for trouble. Being dishonest about your capabilities to get a job that is beyond your means is an even greater and more dangerous risk.
Being Impolite - you need to keep in mind that the person who is interviewing
you may very well be your future boss or employer. You should not sit down
until you are asked to. If you want to take off your jacket, you should ask for
permission first. If refreshments are offered, thank your host.
You should make a point to express your interest toward the job or position that
you are interested in applying for, and you should also make a point to thank the
person interviewing you for the time that they took to sit and speak with you.
Even if you are no longer interested in the job that you are applying for by the
end of your interview, the person who you sat down and spoke with may still be
an excellent contact person with you.
You should absolutely never ever burn any bridges with potential employers or
other people working within your industry of choice because there is no telling
whether or not they will be helpful for you in the future. If you managed to
obtain a job interview through an agency, you should also give them a phone
call promptly following your interview so that you can advise them of whether or
not you are interested in the role that you are interviewing for.
A large part of your interview success will hinge on your attitude, your
willingness to listen, your willingness to ask and answer questions, and your
ability to be honest and to have a positive outlook on the interview situation. If
you are not projecting the right attitude and appearance to your prospective
employer, you will have great difficulty when it comes to proving that you are
the right candidate for the job, especially when there is a lot of competition for
the job in question.
