Even the smartest and most qualified job seekers need to prepare for job interviews. Why, you ask? Interviewing is a learned skill, and there are no second chances to make a great first impression. So study these 10 strategies to enhance your interview skills. Practice Good Nonverbal Communication It`s about demonstrating confidence: standing straight, making eye contact and connecting with a good, firm handshake. That first nonverbal impression can be a great beginning -- or quick ending -- to your interview. Dress for the Job or Company Today`s dress do not give you permission to dress as "they" do when you interview. It is important to look professional and well-groomed. Whether you wear a suit or something less formal depends on the company culture and the position you are seeking. If possible, call to find out about the company dress code before the interview. Listen From the very beginning of the interview, your interviewer is giving you information, either directly or indirectly. If you are not hearing it, you are missing a major opportunity. Good communication skills include listening and letting the person know you heard what was said. your , and match that style and pace. Don`t Talk Too Much Telling the interviewer more than he needs to know could be a fatal mistake. When you have not prepared ahead of time, you may ramble when answering interview questions, sometimes talking yourself right out of the job. for the by reading through the job posting, matching your skills with the position`s requirements and relating only that information. Don`t Be Too Familiar The interview is a professional meeting to talk business. This is not about making a new friend. Your level of familiarity should mimic the interviewer`s demeanor. It is important to bring energy and enthusiasm to the interview and to ask questions, but do not overstep your place as a candidate looking for a job. Use Appropriate Language It`s a given that you should use professional language during the interview. Be aware of any inappropriate slang words or references to age, race, religion, politics or sexual orientation -- these topics could send you out the door very quickly. Don`t Be Cocky Attitude plays a key role in your interview success. There is a fine balance between confidence, professionalism and modesty. Even if you`re putting on a performance to demonstrate your ability, overconfidence is as bad, if not worse, as being too reserved. Take Care to Answer the Questions When an interviewer asks for an of a time when you did , he is seeking a sample of your past behavior. If you fail to relate a specific example, you not only don`t answer the question, but you also miss an opportunity to prove your ability and talk about your skills. Ask Questions When asked if they have any questions, most candidates answer, "No." Wrong answer. Part of knowing how to interview is being ready to ask questions to demonstrate an interest in what goes on in the company. Asking questions also gives you the opportunity to find out if this is the right place for you. The best questions come from listening to what you`re asked during the interview and asking for additional information. Don`t Appear Desperate When you interview with the "please, please hire me" approach, you appear desperate and less confident. Maintain the three C`s during the interview: cool, calm and confident. You know you can do the job; make sure the interviewer believes you can, too.

Một năm chuẩn bị
Nguyễn Xuân Hải (vừa tốt nghiệp cử nhân Kinh tế tại ĐH Tennessee - Mỹ, chuẩn bị chương trình nghiên cứu sinh tại ĐH Johns Hopkins - Mỹ với gói học bổng 38.000 USD/năm) chia sẻ kinh nghiệm sau hai lần thành công trong việc săn lùng học bổng: "Du học cần có quá trình chuẩn bị, không chỉ du học tự túc mà cả với việc du học bằng học bổng.

Bởi đó có thể là phao cứu sinh với một số trường hợp nếu nhà trường quan tâm tới khả năng đặc biệt
