How to Get a Job Within The First 5 Minutes of Your Job Interview.

Stand out from the rest.

Meaningful Impact

Quote of the Week

“Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.” – Aristotle

The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits declined further last week. The unemployment rate dropped to its lowest level in 53-year according to a CNBC jobs report.

While layoffs in the tech sector continue to make highlight news, other sectors are hiring at a robust rate.

In a survey conducted by College Atlas of more than 2,000 hiring managers. 33% said they knew within the first 90 seconds whether or not they would hire a candidate.

Do these 3 things to get the attention of your interviewer within the first 5 minutes of the interview.

Time

The first thing to get right is the time. Never arrive to an interview late, whether it is online or offline, always arrive early. Arriving early for an interview gives you the opportunity to settle down properly. The interview process is hard enough to add to the fact that you H are walking into the venue of your interview and the interview has started. So you must create a good impression with your potential future employer. Once you arrive, let your phone be on silent. Make conversation with the receptionist, and take in the environment, you might notice something that will be useful for small talks later.

Respect

Show respect to everyone, starting from the first person you meet at the entrance, the first person you meet most likely will be the security, be polite to them. Treat them with respect as you would the manager. These are all touch-points with your potential future employer and colleagues, who will often share their impressions of visitors afterwards. Make sure that everyone you come into contact with sees you in a positive light.

Smile

According to College Atlas about 38% of candidates don’t smile in the interview. The interviewer does not know you, you might be a very nice person but he/she/they will not know unless you portray it, everything you do is what will create the impression the interviewer will have of you. Non verbal cues are also important, if not more important than verbal ones. Additionally, smiling occasionally at an interview helps you.

• With self-confidence

• Manage stress and anxiety

• Can work as an Icebreaker

Conclusion

First impressions are perhaps the most important thing. The first few moments of your job interview can have a decisive impact on how well the rest of it goes. It is important to make a good first impression, anything you do within this period will create a lasting impression. The more reason you should pay attention to this information.

So:

• Smile confidently,

• shake hands,

• look up straight,

• make eye contact

and generally look excited to be there, and that you want the job. In all, show an energy of enthusiasm, positivity, and interest.
