what are the most important points to remember when going for the interview?

Question

school principal and HODs

Answer 1

1. Be confident in yourself. If you're not, hide it. Look at who's interviewing you, not your lap. Recommend that you don't fidget, either...

2. Know your stuff. Know exactly what you want to do in the company, know about the company itself (who's in charge, who you'll work under, the goals of the company, etc.)

3. Don't slouch, don't use slang. But also don't use big words when you don't know what they mean.... no, seriously.

4. Be polite, but friendly. Employers don't want insubordination, but they also want workers that can get along with each other.

These should be some good starting points.

Answer 2

I think the most important points of an interview are that:
*Be prepared. What can you bring to the job? Since you are going for a job as a school principal, have a good idea of how you would do the job better. If you enjoy working with the kids and helping them to achive great things in their education, that would be a good point.
*You are selling yourself to them, so you must be able to tell them what your goals are for this job. Define what goals you could see yourself doing. Be realistic. Don't promise what can't be done. They will see through it.
*Eye contact with the employer is especially important. It shows them that you are confident and truthful.
*Don't babble. Give direct answers to all questions and if you don't know the answer, be honest and say "I don't know."
*Dress professionally
*Thank the interviewer, at the end, for taking the time for concidering you.

Good luck!

Answer 3

In my opinion, when going for an interview, always keep in mind that it is NOT ONLY you going there to impress them. They must impress YOU AS WELL, because you are offering your services to them. Going there with that state of mind will help not being so nervous as well.
