You do not want to have ragged and distorted thoughts because it is ten minutes to the interview. Before the day of the job interview, shoes need to be cleaned up, clothes ironed, and documents made, set and ready. Calculate the time it would take to arrive at the destination and arrive about fifteen to twenty minutes before the interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-don-t-take-your-seat-before-it-is-offered\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Dont_Take_Your_Seat_Before_It_Is_Offered\"><\/span>2. Don\u2019t Take Your Seat Before It Is Offered<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Sometimes, because of fright, job seekers do not prepare sufficiently for interviews, forgetting something as minor as this. But interviewers look at this as a sign of courtesy. Keep it in mind. Only offer a greeting and wait to be told to have a seat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-don-t-set-your-phone-ring-tone-high\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Dont_Set_Your_Phone_Ring_Tone_High\"><\/span>3. Don\u2019t Set Your Phone Ring Tone High<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not be like other job seekers who act unconcerned and leave their phone ringtones on high. It is better to silence the phone for just a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-don-t-interrupt-the-interviewer-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Dont_Interrupt_The_Interviewer\"><\/span>4. Don\u2019t Interrupt The Interviewer&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Active listening is a <a class=\"article-body-links\"href=\"https:\/\/www.jobberman.com.gh\/learning\">soft skill<\/a>. Always listen attentively and only ask questions when the interviewer is done. Only show signs of attentiveness or active listening, but don\u2019t interrupt with unnecessary jokes and questions. This enables you to find appropriate answers to the questions asked.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-don-t-badmouth-previous-employers-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Dont_Badmouth_Previous_Employers\"><\/span>5. Don\u2019t Badmouth Previous Employers&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One common question asked during interviews is, \u201c<a class=\"article-body-links\"href=\"https:\/\/www.jobberman.com.gh\/discover\/interview-questions\">Why did you leave your last job<\/a>?\u201d You might be convinced to tell all the bad that happened at the workplace or paint your boss badly. In answering this question, for example, you can just state, \u201c I have reached a point in my career where I am seeking new opportunities for new challenges that will provide growth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-don-t-overstate-your-qualifications\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Dont_Overstate_Your_Qualifications\"><\/span>6.

This is the time to sell yourself to the employer and share what sets you apart. Don\u2019t forget you are not the only person interviewing for the role. In answering this question, you can say, \u201cHaving worked with different companies that have a broad spectrum of cultures, I have developed good teamwork skills, and as part of my career growth journey, I have also learnt through academics and mentorship critical job skills for the role I am currently applying for.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-never-ask-about-salary-too-early\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Never_Ask_About_Salary_Too_Early\"><\/span>7. Never Ask About Salary Too Early<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;At Jobberman\u2019s recently ended carer fair and employer forum, which sought to bridge the gap between job seekers and employers, one of our recruitment experts mentioned how to answer the question, \u201cWhat are your <a class=\"article-body-links\"href=\"https:\/\/www.jobberman.com.gh\/discover\/interview-questions\">salary expectations<\/a>?\u201d He noted that one of the extensive research projects a job seeker must undertake before going to an interview is to research the industry&#8217;s base salary. Employers pay based on their budget, industry amount, and the role\u2019s workload. So, next time you prepare for a job interview, figure out the average <a class=\"article-body-links\"href=\"https:\/\/www.jobberman.com.gh\/discover\/interview-questions\">salary<\/a> for the role you picked up and how it matches your skill sets and needs, then negotiate accordingly. Remember, it is a one-time chance. Don\u2019t play the humble dragon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-do-not-use-negative-language-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Do_Not_Use_Negative_Language\"><\/span>8. Do Not Use Negative Language&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid using phrases such as &#8220;It\u2019s impossible to\u2026,&#8221; &#8220;There\u2019s no way,&#8221; &#8220;Bad,&#8221; &#8220;Awful,&#8221; etc. Make sure to use only neutral words and positive phrases such as &#8220;try my best,&#8221; &#8220;we can find a solution,&#8221; etc. Be solution-oriented, as that is what employers are looking for. People with objective minds are constantly looking not to put blame but rather to find solutions. Be that person in this interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-9-don-t-over-rehearse\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Dont_Over-rehearse\"><\/span>9. Don\u2019t Over-rehearse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is good to set possible questions for the interview, but don\u2019t sound too scripted. The interviewer is looking for a moment of communication, so keep the flow and let it sound more relaxed, like you never rehearsed, just like an actor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dos\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DOs\"><\/span>DOs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-rehearse\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Rehearse\"><\/span>1. Rehearse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people might not do this, but not for you reading this article. Practice a list of questions related to the job and how you will answer when \u2018tough\u2019 questions are thrown at you. Just don\u2019t sound too scripted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-research-the-company\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Research_The_Company\"><\/span>2. Research The Company<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Why would you decide to work for a company you know nothing about? Get information about the company because you will be asked what you know about the company. Most employers ask the following question, \u201c<a class=\"article-body-links\"href=\"https:\/\/www.jobberman.com.gh\/discover\/interview-questions\">What do you know about the company<\/a>?\u201d The question seeks to uncover what you have learned about the company, what you know about its culture, and how passionate you are about getting into it and working for it. Don\u2019t quote what you read from the company\u2019s website. Understand what they do, figure out its key mission, and express yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-dress-appropriately-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Dress_Appropriately\"><\/span>3.

And yes, please, no colourful combinations. Corporate workplaces have specific colours they find appropriate. Find out what colours fit the company culture and dress accordingly. If it is a black suit with a pair of trousers, keep them ironed with either black or brown shoes in the same colour socks.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-sit-confidently\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Sit_Confidently\"><\/span>4.

Don\u2019t overplay your posture. Sit upright and make eye contact. That is the confident look, but do not overplay it. When you slack in the chair, it portrays low self-confidence. Sit like a lady and sit like a gentleman.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-ask-questions-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Ask_Questions\"><\/span>5. <strong>Ask Questions&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember point four in the do\u2019s? When you listen without interrupting the interviewer, you will find appropriate answers and questions to ask. So, ask relevant questions after listening. Even so, when asked, \u201c<a class=\"article-body-links\"href=\"https:\/\/www.jobberman.com.gh\/discover\/interview-questions\">Do you have any questions<\/a>?\u201d ask necessary questions such as the welfare plan, opportunity for growth, insurance, leave, remuneration, and start and closing times.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-be-yourself\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Be_Yourself\"><\/span>6. <strong>Be Yourself<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Authenticity is an asset, so let your personality and genuine interest in the company shine through the interview. Employers enjoy a passionate worker. So, express your interest in the job by showcasing the things that identify you. If you are lively, show it, but don\u2019t overdo it. Consider all the points mentioned above to balance your personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-arrive-early-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Arrive_Early\"><\/span>7. Arrive Early&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first point in this article was never to arrive late. That\u2019s the resolution. Always arrive fifteen to thirty minutes before the interview time.&nbsp; You do not want to arrive unkempt and are now looking for your documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-be-concise\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Be_Concise\"><\/span>8.
