your look

The job interview does not require specific clothes, except that it is usual for you to wear formal clothes to some extent, even if it is a shirt and pants only, without the need to wear a suit and tie, but in all cases it becomes appropriate to wear pants in a dark color such as gray, black or blue, And a light-colored shirt, and be sure to tie the buttons of the shirt, except for the latter.

who are you?

who are you?

A traditional and repeated question, and no job interview takes place without directing it to the potential employee, but despite this, many do not realize how to present themselves confidently before the exam committee.

Practice your answers to common interview questions, and prepare your answer to the frequently asked question “Tell me about yourself and why are you interested in this role with our company?” The idea is to quickly express your identity and the value you will add to the company, and that minute can be considered as a personal promotional offer.

Voice and body language

If the test panel is multi-person, keep a slight smile while introducing yourself. Make sure to keep your eyes steady while speaking to one person, and don't get distracted by looking out the window or the corners of the room.

And if you want to move on to another paragraph of your self-talk, turn your gaze to another person, until you show interest in everyone.

If you notice that a member of the committee is indifferent or pretends to be in your conversation, direct your conversation to someone else who is looking at you.

But if someone is confused by his facial expressions, kill your fear of him and direct the conversation to him without smiling or trying to joke.

If someone is testing you, and deliberately does not pay attention to your speech or is preoccupied with writing for long seconds, then you have to be silent a little, to tell him that you are waiting for him until he finishes what he is doing, especially if he takes some notes about you, and in this case he will ask you to continue your speech, which He confirms that he is attentive to what you say.

And make sure that you speak loudly, but not become louder than the ones you are speaking to, not only because it is inappropriate to speak in a loud voice, but because if suddenly it becomes quiet during your speech, you are inevitably confused and it will appear on your facial expressions.

Be engaged

Prepare smart questions for your interviewers. Interviews are a two-way street.
