AN👩🏼💻If you want a corporate job you need to be taken seriously and you need to know how to act.
It’s ok if you were never taught, let me teach you interview etiquette.
When you are being interviewed you are being hosted so act accordingly.
🔹Say please and thank you, sit up straight, and participate in the conversation.
🤝You need to know how to shake hands.
If you are uncomfortable shaking hands, practice.
First impressions matter and if you give me a limp handshake I will wonder why.
❌Do NOT ask for coffee with cream & sugar, I am NOT a barista. Just ask for water or accept whatever I offer- do not make a crazy request.
❌When you walk into the interview room, do NOT wait for me to tell you where to sit.
✅Just sit opposite of me.
✅When you sit down, always put your hands on the table. If you put your hands in your lap you look nervous and untrustworthy.
✅Throughout the job interview you should be taking notes on a pad of paper in your padfolio NOT on your phone.
When I ask you if you have questions, you need to have great questions prepared about next steps in the interview process.
❌Do NOT ask me “Are there any reasons why you wouldn’t want to hire me?” because no one is going to be honest with you
✅Instead tell them that you are actively interviewing because hiring managers want what they can’t have.
