As you head into your interviews, make sure to look your best! Here are some keys to a great interview!

Present yourself well

A huge part of what employers notice during an interview is based on appearance. For this reason it is very important to maintain a level of professionalism. I'm not saying you need to look like a statue. But it can't hurt to wear something classy and professional and make sure your hair doesn't look like a birds nest. Confidence is also a huge part of presenting yourself well. The interviewers want to know if you know your stuff. So, make sure to maintain eye contact and not fiddle with jewelry or your clothes and never ever ever play with or attempt to fix your hair.

Consider the position you are applying for

Whenever a new question is asked it is important to be relaxed when you answer. But it is also important to give a good answer! A great trick is that when you stop to take a short breath before give your answer, just stop and quickly remind yourself of what you are actually applying for. Doing so will help you remember what standards the job usually has. Also try to learn what the group or job you are applying for is based on. For example, if they are a tourist attraction then they are probably customer based and so a good answer will typically be one where you consider the customers needs first.

Be yourself

The last and most important thing to do in an interview is to wow them with your top qualities. It is easy in an interview to become obsessed with being perfect in every way. However, majority of interviewers are looking for real people. So, not being afraid to laugh if stumble on your chair while sitting down or just smiling when it feels normal will make you so much more relatable and human. Also, keeping a more natural appearance will help you to loosen up and relax which will make you more confident!

So as you go into your interviews, remember to present yourself well, consider the position you are applying for, and be yourself! You will crush it!
