How to Behave and Act in a Job Interview

There are many things you can do to calm the pressure during an interview. The way you behave is one of the most important. It's not all in the words that come out of your mouth, but often it has a lot to do with the mannerisms you use.

Interviewers do not wonder if you are a great expert for the job, they often wonder how you would fit in with your co-workers. Your personality is an important part of the interview and can make all the difference. Here are a few small things that should pay particular attention during an interview.

Behave and Act in a Job Interview

Behave and Act in a Job Interview


Show trust 

You can not enter into an interview with a defeatist attitude. You can not show displeasure or as if you do not care if they hire you or not. Stay safe with your skills without seeming arrogant or narcissistic.

Show the interviewer that you are prepared to function well in the required position, without offending other colleagues. You should point out your achievements in your specialty, but it is still humble. List your achievements in some previous work but without going into too many details. I know this sounds repetitive, but you must understand that these points are very important.

Body language plays an important role in the personality you want to show to others. Sit straight. Practice good posture and keep your head up.


Keep a positive attitude 

You should always try to smile and maintain a positive attitude during a job interview. If what you are hearing does not sound good or does not convince you, do not frown and do not look with annoyance, Just keep a faint smile on your face until it is the right time to say something. Approach your interviewer with your questions or concerns when the time is right.


Maintain eye contact 

Maintaining eye contact with your interviewer is very important, especially when you are talking face to face. If you're looking around the room or at the interviewer's desks, you'll look disinterested.

Just imagine what you would be thinking if you were talking to him and he was looking around the room. You would probably think that you really are not interested in getting the job.



Body language

We've touched this before for a bit but you should take care of some of the common mistakes that many people make when they talk to others.

I have listed some of the common things you should avoid when you are in an interview.

  • Avoid nervous movements when talking to your interviewer. That shows a lack of confidence in oneself.
  • Avoid using your hands excessively while talking, overly expressive gestures is a distraction.
  • Avoid biting your lips between sentences. It gives the impression that you are inventing things.
  • Do not sit with your arms crossed because it makes you look angry.
  • Do not shrug when you are asked a question you are not sure to answer. Take a second to think your answer, shrugging the shoulders gives the impression that you do not know the answer.
  • Do not answer with nods and nods. Use your words to answer questions.• Sleep well the night before the interview. You will not want to yawn in front of the interviewer. He will think he is expressing boredom.
