Interview Conduct
Interview is a formal occasion. The interviewee has to be at his best in all aspects. Dress code, body language, language spoken, etc. have to be exceedingly polite, formal, and impressive. Whether telephonic or face to face interview, the interview must be at his/her best.
In case it is a telephonic interview, one must be very clear, impressive and convincing in his conversation with the interviewer. There should be proper wishing and answering of questions asked by the interviewer. In telephonic conversation one does not have to bother about dress code or body language, but communication skills is the only tool to impress the interviewer with. One must use proper tone, intonation, modulation, pitch, and volume of his/her voice. One must sound confident. And the most important thing to be kept in mind is the speed of speaking. One must not speak too fast lest the interviewer might not comprehend the words spoken by the interviewee.
In case the interview is face to face. One must pay proper care to one’s dress code, body language along with the communication skills. Formal, honest, controlled, relevant, polite and enthusiastic response to the interviewer’s questions is the best approach.
