Answer 1

Wow, you asked for everything there.

From the time you first meet the interviewer until you leave, everything you say and do will be carefully observed. Think of the interview as a 2-way conversation where you and the interviewer are getting to know each other for the first time. Your advance preparation, as well as simple courtesy and good sense, should carry you through successfully. There are some basic rules and situations common to most interviews, which may be useful to know ahead of time.

An interview goes through four stages, some may not go this way, but most will follow the following sequence.

1.The Opening Stage - This is sometimes called the "getting to know" you stage. Here are some suggestions for handling this stage.

·Exchange of Greetings - As you enter the office, you smile and greet the interviewer by name, and if you are sure of it and the way it is pronounced. You should not call him/her by nickname even if you hear employees call him informally. You introduce yourself clearly, "I am Joe Smith and I am here for the interview," you say.

·Handshake. You should take your cue from the interviewer. If the person offers to shake your hand, you do so, using a firm grip, not a bone-crusher or a limp fish. If the person does not make the offer, you should leave it at that.

·Sit Only When Asked. You should not be in a hurry to sit down. It is customary to remain standing until you are offered a chair.


·Control Nervousness. It is normal to be nervous during an interview, but you must take precautions to keep it under control. For example, before meeting your interviewer you can dry a damp brow or a clammy hand. You can put your hands in your lap and keep them still. Avoid playing with a ring, parts of your face, a button or anything else.

·Posture and Attending Behaviors. You should sit erect but relaxed on the chair, look alert and interested, show that you are wide-awake, and that you are an active listener. It is particularly important to look at the interviewer and to keep using proper eye contact throughout the interview. You should also smile at appropriate times.

·Be courteous and Show Respect. When people meet for the first time, it is natural for them to size each other up. You certainly will want to determine whether the interviewer's attitude towards you is friendly or hostile. If the interviewer is friendly, keep it that way. If he appears hostile, you will have to watch very carefully what you say, and how you say it. Whatever the interviewer says or does, however, you must keep your temper under control!

·Who Takes the Lead? Some interviewers like to do most of the talking. They judge you by the interest, comprehension and intelligence you show in reacting to them. During the course of the interview, you must be careful that you don't take their lead away. Other interviewer's hardly speak at all, and they might be observing how you deal with this situation. In this case, you can ask permission to ask questions you have prepared.

·No to chewing gum and smoking even if you are invited to do so or even if the interviewer is dong so.

2.The Information Gathering Stage

After the final warm-up period, the interviewer will want to talk to you about your qualifications as noted on your application or resume, and pursue other leads to be sure all of your background is clear. To help you get through this question-and-answer period the following guidelines are given:

·Know What You Want. It is important to convince the interviewer that you are well qualified for one particular job or job area. You should never say that you are looking for just "anything" as no one is exactly suited to just "anything." If you really don't know exactly what kind of work is available, you should describe your qualifications for two or three jobs you think you can do well.

·Stress Your Qualifications. You must know what the requirements of the job are and be prepared to show how your qualifications meet these requirements. In presenting your strongest skills and abilities, you should be factual and sincere rather than conceited. It is much better if you can mention your best qualities in relation to something concrete. For example, saying, "I can type seventy-five words a minute" is better than saying, "I am a fast typist." The first statement establishes the point more convincingly than the second.

·Don't Talk Too Much. Since time is a valuable commodity to the interviewer, you must answer the questions in a confident, businesslike manner. On one hand, you don't simply answer with a "yes" or "no"; on the other hand you don't also talk too much.

·Be Honest and Sincere. Most interviews follow a simple question-and-answer format so your ability to answer quickly and intelligently is of great importance. But it is even more crucial to be sincere and honest in what you say. If you begin to exaggerate or make up things and are caught, the interviewer certainly will not view you favorably. That is likely to be the last time he will see you.

·Get Your Facts Straight. Even if you have submitted a resume, you should have the facts and dates of your employment memorized. Most interviewers are quick to note any discrepancies between what you had written and what you say.

·Never Criticize Others. Never criticize or make a derogatory remark about a past or present employer. If something went wrong, suggest that at least part of the blame must have been yours.

·Show Confidence. Should you feel that the interview is not going well and that you have already been rejected, you should not let your disappointment show. Some interviewers may discourage you in order to test your reaction. If you remain confident and determined, you might make a final good impression.

·Taking Notes. Note taking may annoy or distract the interviewer. If you want to write something down, you can say something like, "That's very interesting. Do you mind if I write that down?"

3.The Information Giving Stage - When the interview has progressed to the point where you have answered all questions, there is usually a lull in the conversation. Here is your chance to provide information about yourself that you feel that would help the interviewer in making a decision. If you have tailored qualifications to meet the job requirements, now is the time to elaborate upon them.

You should also have an opportunity to ask the questions about the company and the job you are applying for. These will indicate your interest, which can impress the interviewer about you favorably.

4.The Closing Stage - Just as the initial impression you make on the interviewer is important, so is the final one. If your closing is bad, all your previous efforts will have been in vain. Here are some suggestions that might help you handle this stage with greater ease.

·Be Alert to Cues. Most interviews last between 20 to 30 minutes, and when the interviewer glances at this watch, you know that the time is almost up. You can then quickly sum your interest in the job briefly and stop talking.

·Handling a Job Offer. Should the interviewer offer you a job on the spot and you are sure that you want it, you can accept with a definite "yes." If you have some doubts, or you do not want to commit yourself, tactfully ask for time to think it over. However, you should try to set a definite date when you can provide an answer. This will reassure the interviewer that you are giving the offer serious consideration.

·Getting a Commitment. Most times you will not be offered the job right away. Before you leave the interviewer's office, you should try to find out when the decision is likely to be made. Avoid begging or crying about your need for the job at this point. Such behavior is guaranteed to turn off the interviewer.

·Thank the Interviewer. As you leave the office, you must thank the interviewer for the time and consideration that have been given to you. You should not linger at the door to give just one more detail. If you have already answered questions related to why you are interested in the job and what you have to offer, you have done all that you can.

·Be Courteous to Everyone. You will probably meet employees of the company, before, during or after the interview, including the one who will make the decision to hire you. The interviewer may even show you around the office and introduce you to some employees. You should show respect and courtesy to them.

·Making Notes. As soon as an interview is over, it is important to make notes of what happened. Do this outside the office where you had been interviewed. Using a job prospect card, you can write down points you may have overlooked so that you will remember to bring them up the next time you see the interviewer again or in a future interview with another company. You can also take note of any observations you made during the interview, which would be helpful in making a follow up.

Peace and blessings!

P. S. I can't give the answer for the CV because it will be almost as long as this one and I would violate community guidelines. Post this question again so I can aswer it.

Answer 2

1. Good Haircut, excellent shave, manicure, very clean teeth.

2. It depends on the job you are applying for, but it is always better to look too good than not good enough for an interview.
But you must wear clean polished shoes, clean pressed clothes and a jacket. If you are in white collar, a suit and a starched shirt and tie. LOOK FABULOUS. FIRST IMPRESSIONS ONLY HAPPEN ONCE.

3. Arrive about 5 to 10 minutes early. Control the nerves. Be articulate, be interested but not overly chatty. NO SLANG, USE PROPER ENGLISH. Let them know you are educated and articulate.

4. Do some research at home about the company, do not go in blind.

5. Know in advance what you expect to make then pump it up by about 10 to 25%. If you get it great if not and they want you, you just start off with a bit less. Once hired you will not see a raise for a year or two.

6. Prepare a list of questions about the company. Show you are interested and want to be informed.

7.Ask questions about the job requirements and what they expect. Know your strengths so you can share them.

GOOD LUCK.
