As a recruiter for a variety of different industries, Labor Solutions gets to interact with many types of workers, from industrial to clerical, agricultural to educational, and more. Interview anxiety is not industry-specific – anyone looking for work can succumb to the nervousness associated with being interviewed for a position. We’ve put together a few ideas to help you overcome this uneasiness and connect more easily with the person interviewing you.
Connecting with the Interviewer
Why do you want to make a connection with an interviewer? Well, you only get one chance to make a first impression, and you want it to be a good one. Building rapport with the interviewer helps them get a feel for your personality and whether or not you would be a good fit with the company.
Labor Solutions is dedicated to the success of all our workers, so we want you to excel at your interviews. Follow these tips to make a good impression in your next interview:
- Show up to the interview on time and well prepared. Do your research on the company and the position you’re applying for.
- Use good manners. Be polite to the receptionist and anyone else you encounter on your way in.
- Stay calm, be confident. Confidence goes a long way in making a good impression. Remember that you have prepared for this interview, you have the skills they are looking for, and you are capable of performing well.
- Watch your body language. Eye contact, posture, hand positioning…. Make sure that your body language is sending the right message.
- Show interest and ask questions. Use your active listening skills to engage with what the interviewer is saying. Ask relevant follow-up questions.
