The good and bad points of an interview

Today in class, we learned about how to present ourselves at an interview.

When you walk into the interview room, you should wait to be seated. Once you are sat
down, it is important to sit up straight. Do not slouch as this looks, to the interviewer, like you
are not really interested. Crossing arms and legs looks defensive.
 
The way you look is very important. If you look well-groomed, clean and smart, you have
more of a chance of success with the interviewer.
 
It is a good idea to switch your phone off before entering the interview room, as if the
phone rings during the interview, it would cause a disruption. If you leave it on and it rings,
don't answer it, but switch it off.

It is important to have the right attitude. An interviewer will not like someone who is
over-confident and has nothing to show for themselves. Being well-manered with a smile on
your face will do the trick. When the interviewer asks you questions, try to explain your                    answers and elaborate.
 
If the interviewer shakes your hand, do not decline as this will be seen as impolite. Make
sure your handshake is quite firm to give the message "i mean business".
 
Do not ask about the salary, as the interviewer will think you're only after the money!
 
Don't look eager to leave.
