How can I start my job interview?

Question

Could anybody give me a classical example of intorduce myself?

Answer 1

Try sitting upright and looking at the person that is talking to you at that time, it shows that you are concentrating
all the best with the interview.

Answer 2

There are only a couple of true consistent interview skills. Many people have different approaches to interview. Some are successful, some are not. The problem comes from the fact that depending on the interview, the company culture and the type of job you are applying for will cause the interview process to differ. For example, interviewing for a police officer position will differ greatly from an insurance agent position. There are different focuses, and different needs.

Therefore, there are only a few things that remain true across the board. First and foremost, no matter what position you apply for, utilize effective eye contact. Also, it is important to speak clearly and concisely. Handshakes should match the handshake the other person gives (ie: firm handshake with one given, relaxed softer handshake with one offered). Remain polite, courteous, and above all truthful. These simple rules will get you through 9 out of 10 interviews trouble free.

1. Make absolutely sure you have clean clothes, (a shave) and a bath before you go. Clean your teeth.
2. Be 10 minutes early and take a book in a briefcase (not the paper - Guardianistas loathe Mail readers!). Do not smoke for several hours before and don't drink either.
3. Smile, look everyone in the eyes, remember people's names and shake hands firmly with everyone.
4. Sit down and let them do the work.
5. Remember, above all, that it is even harder for them. They will probably be more on edge than you - they need you more than you need them. Try and make them feel comfortable.
6. Don't say anything you don't mean or don't believe. Also, make sure you get it in writing, you would be surprised how many interviewers lie and cheat.

Above all: GOOD LUCK!

Answer 4

The following is not about verbal introduction, but about introducing yourself at your most powerful state.

This is about putting yourself in the most resourceful state that you can, specifically if you feel something may be missing, eg. confidence, power etc. This way you will be most able to deal with whatever comes your way. A technique known as 'anchoring' allows you to re-access positive states, at the time of your choice.

You will be the best judge of what state of mind will be most beneficial to you, or even what you guess, or fear, that you won't have enough of
in such a situation.

Think of it as a 3 step process. Steps 1 and 2 occur before the interview. Step 3 is at the point where you wish to re-access the more positive state of mind, eg. during or before the interview.

Step 1. Recall an experience where you have had the desired state, that you'd like during the interview (the experience may be anything from kicking a football to being in the arms of someone you love etc etc.)

Step 2. Relive the experience and at its most heightened level touch yourself somewhere inconspicuous that you could touch again at the interview. Notice the visual, sound and feelings aspects of the experience, which helps to intensify it. If there are smells or tastes, anchor these too. Tweak it to make it brighter, louder, more colourful, whichever intensifies appropriately. This 'anchors' the experience to the place that you're touching. You can repeat this several times, to create a really positive state. If it helps, add another cue for it, such as a word that you could repeat silently to connect to it.

Step 3. Re-touch yourself - at the place where you anchored - and/or say any memorised word, at the point that you want to feel the same energy again. Eg. just before you walk in to be introduced etc.

You will almost immediately feel the same state that you had 'anchored' earlier, allowing you greater ease to communiate and win the job.

Smiles are worth a million dollars too, helping connect you with interviewers.

Something I used to do was to do a gym workout before interviews, which left me feeling more relaxed and powerful. Otherwise, good breathing will improve your state of mind and body:

Breath out for double the time of breathing in - slowly of course.

Let them do the work, they will have their own format etc, allowing you to be yourself, managaing your own state of mind and giving them the answers that they need.

Good luck and always believe in yourself.
