interview tips
Talk point to point
When it comes to talking during an interview, sometimes less is more. As a general rule, you should speak one-third of the time and definitely no more than half of the time. you need to ask questions and try to draw out your interviewer rather than talking about yourself nonstop. When it's your turn to speak, don't hesitate to tout yourself -- just remember to stop talking after you do
Explain Why You Left the previous job
if interviewer as the question Why did you leave (or are you seeking to leave) your company?" describe the reason for your departure, and don't go into details unless asked.
Look Them in the Eyes
Eye contact is one of the most important aspects of nonverbal communication and can make a significant difference in how you present yourself. If you look away when speaking to someone, you're viewed as lacking confidence or interest.
Look Better, Feel Better
whiling going to inetrview better to have light color(espacilly white) shirts,dress.dont put red green,yellow. which look very odd.
References
For your reference list, you want three to five people and their contact information. Don't forget to get permission to use your references' names, and while you're at it, ask how they prefer to be contacted. You should also send them a copy of your resume so they'll be aware of what you're saying about yourself.
Talking Salary
Timing is everything in the interview. Let them bring up the subject of money. If you are asked what your salary expectations are too early in the process, just say you would rather postpone that discussion until you have more information about the position. Ask, "Could you tell me the range budgeted for the position?
Be Quiet and Focus
One common mistake candidates make when interviewing is talking too much. It's important to listen to the question asked and answer that question. Keep your answers to two to three minutes at the most. When you limit your time, you tend to stay more focused. It is very easy to stray off the subject and ramble about things irrelevant to the job if your answer is too long. Watch the interviewer's eyes -- if they glaze over, you've lost them.
Face the Feedback
If you ask for feedback from an interviewer, be prepared to hear things that could be upsetting. You should listen carefully, and take notes to refer to -- and react to -- later. Be gracious about what you're told. Don't argue or defend yourself -- this is not a chance for a rebuttal. Be sure to thank the interviewer. Then, take the advice and think about changing some techniques to improve on your next interview.
