While browsing the Internet, it is highly likely that you have at some point come across one of many articles about the things you shouldn’t do during an interview. These could range from being late or not finding more about the company beforehand to wearing jeans or chewing gum; the list goes on. But what about the things you should do? To make a good impression and convince the person you are interviewing that you are a good match for the job, do the following to boost your chances for success:

Come prepared

Research the company to learn more about what they do and get a feel of their corporate culture, then go through the job requirements and be prepared to demonstrate why you would be a suitable fit. Also, mentally review anticipated questions and rehearse what you plan to say, then be prepared to discuss your resume, whether it be previous responsibilities, acquired skills or gaps in employment. On another note, many companies today may require you to undergo a background check as part of the interviewing and hiring process. Visit our blog to learn all you need to know!

Make a good first impression

This begins with your attire. Dress the part for the position you are applying to, making sure your clothes are appropriate, neat and fit well. Greet your interviewer with a firm handshake and a welcoming smile, and maintain regular eye contact throughout. It is also important to show energy and enthusiasm, while keeping your answers concise, straightforward and professional. At the end of the interview, don’t forget to thank your interviewer for their time and reiterate your interest in the position.

Highlight your skills

During the conversation, describe certain situations or challenges you faced in your previous job, the measures you took to resolve them and the end results you achieved. Make it a point to clearly explain how your input and efforts positively impacted the sales, operations, staffing or bottom line of your past employer.
