How to make impressive impression in an interview?

Most of the time it happens in our professional life that we come across a situation, where people complaining about the job they really deserve but failed to get that. This happens sometime just because people not using the right thing at the right time. I have found some common mistakes or missing attitude in peoples usually going through interviews and failing most of the time.

Mistake # 01: Attire

Most of the time people wear odd stuff that is not according to the job description or position they are being interviewed for. Always try to wear plain shirt and trousers always wear the matching waist-belt with the shoes. Black color is best choice for these trio belt-trousers-shoes, and the shirt can be of any choice but make sure to consider the plain which is consider as formal.

Mistake # 02: Shake hands firmly

Employer and/or people hiring for the organizations want the potential candidates to be with full of energy. No one likes to invest in the type of human resource that lack in the energy needed for the job, for that when you shake hands with the person interviewing you always shake hands firmly (make sure you are not going to break the hands) and with confident each time before starting interview and leaving the interview room. But this is not the case when opposite gender are there in the interview room, reduce the firmness accordingly.

Mistake # 03: Effective use of body language.

Sitting in the steady position throughout the interview gives the indication that you are not comfortable in the interview and you lack in confidence as well. Keep your body flexible enough and use your hands and facial expression to support your responses against each question. Effective use of body language always give the extra advantage and support your answers, fill the gap of the content that you are unable to deliver from words.

Mistake # 04: Never give frown face

Short-tempered people usually give the feeling of dislike when they are asked for an answer which is not directly map with the required knowledge and skills and usually give the bad answers. Always keep in mind that hiring an employee does not only mean to meet the skills required. There are certain things considered. If you are asked such question always try to give your best answers with all smiling face, this will reduce your anger and give the good impression on the interviewer.

These are the potential mistakes that candidates usually make. Using slight tricks one can leverage these mistakes and turn them into his/her favor. This is not a big deal.

All the very success!!!
