Job Hopping Could Actually Get You A Pay Rise Of Up To 50 Per Cent
Dress smart
image

Know what style of dress – uniformed, smart casual or corporate – is appropriate for the job you want. If in doubt, err on the side of business style rather than under-dress.

Always aim to make an impression when choosing what to wear for an interview. Remember, you can always correct an overdress but you can’t correct for an underdress.

Gesticulate
image

Show your passion. If you have great ideas but hide your enthusiasm with stiff body language, other people won’t believe your ideas.

Don’t be afraid to gesture as it shows that you’re enthusiastic and expressive. The interviewer can read how open and honest you are by looking at your hands.

Smile
image

A smile is one of the very best ways to communicate sincerity and a friendly, approachable demeanour.

But don’t go overboard. There’s a fine line between appearing sincere and appearing unnatural.

Sit upright
image

Maintain a good posture during your interview by aiming to sit as you would in a yoga class: Calmly and upright.

Sitting too far forward looks too eager while slouching makes you look disinterested.

Use props, like water
image

If they offer a drink, take it as it will convey that you are confident and relaxed.

It can also be used as a prop to perhaps give you some time to answer a difficult question.

It's all in the eyes
image

Make eye contact, but don’t stare.

Staring for an extended period can make your interviewer uncomfortable so simply hold their gaze for a second longer before breaking away.
