Job interview presentation tips you must embrace

2013-11-24T20:55:00.005+03:00

In my years in corporate world, I have been through many interviews and presentations, some coming out successful and others rated a failure. All this time, I have learnt a lot on how to effectively communicate and convince the other party; a customer, a new client, this girl or guy you want to date, and in case of job seekers, the interview panel awaits you.

Prepare

Going for an interview without thorough preparation can be equated to career suicide. It is important that you take your time to familiarize with the organization that has invited you. Websites are basic tools where you can find company information such as their products or services, branches or locations, their vision, mission and values. Read and understand the job description including duties and responsibilities that you will be performing if you get the job. Note that many of the questions will gauge your competences in terms of skills related to the job or technical skills, analytical skills, your ability to communicate and pass across ideas, and people skills among many other behavioral competences.

No much movement, just simple moves and signs with facial expression

For lovers of politics, watch Obama speak; for movie lovers, watch Big Jim Rennie in the Hollywood movie ‘Under the Dome’, see how they talk and pause their statements, uses their hands to explain points, eye contact to name a few. Media personalities and news anchors are also people you can learn from by just watching TV.

Maintain eye contact, be yourself, sit upright and be composed

Eye contact as an integral part of communication has greatly been ignored for years. Little do people know that maintaining eye contact is key to sinking an idea into someone else. Try as much as possible to talk directly to each of the panel members, mentioning their names while replying to their questions as this gives personal touch. Stay upright and composed, you can do it.

Use signs & examples while explaining points

Giving a convincing explanation to a panel of mean looking people can be a little complicated, but bear in mind that the panel wants you to pass the interview, they already know you are competent since you already got shortlisted but require just a little bit of your explanation why you think you are the best candidate. Relax, be composed and speak yourself out in a slow and clear way. Do not try to rush yourself, you have all the time. Break down your points and explain them clearly while giving examples that relate to the job you are being interviewed for. For example, if the question wants you to state your experience in the area being interviewed for, give a response with a project you were involved in, what your role was and how you contributed to the process.

A little of sign language to cement your points is also a plus. If explaining say points, explain one by one while using your fingers. If explaining a rise in percentage sales, raise your hands a little to show the rise. It works, trust me.

For Aptitude tests

Please carry your calculator and pen along, there is going to be a few calculations to do. For interviews with aptitude tests, the employer will always notify you early that there is going to be the test and so you should be prepared.

Try to attempt as much questions as you can

You don’t have to complete all questions, even the most brilliant people never complete. Rushing through and answering all will mean two things; either you are a genius which is good for you or you are trying your luck by guessing answers.

For psychological tests, keep in mind that the first guess that comes to your mind is always the right answer to the question, going otherwise will mean you are trying to lie or coining a different image of yourself, a good word for all that is ‘dishonesty’.
