1. Introduction: Job interviews can be stressful and intimidating, but they don't have to be. In this class. I'll show you how to make the best impression in any job interview no matter how professional you are and I'm sure you are, You also need to make them want to work with you at the end of the day, no matter how good your answers are, if they don't like you, you want to get a job. This class will teach you how to nail every job interview with a few simple tips. If you want to get the job over James, this class is for you. 2. The Basis of a Good Impression: This is the best tip I can give you for nailing job interviews. And it's something that's not really heard of a lot. Because the way I see it, It's not about how well, just answering the questions or the tests, or arriving on time, or how you dress and how you tackle certain things you're asked, it's mainly about this. Be someone they will want to see every morning when they come to work? This is what you should have at the back of your mind. In every question you answer, in every hello you say in everything you asked, every correspondence with them. At the end of the day, it all comes down to this. Of course, it's important to show them your professional, to show them you know what you're talking about. You to show them you can solve the problems. They want salt. But this is at the core of everything. And then at the end of the day, it all comes down to this. Well, they want to see you every day at work. You want them to IQ. If they like you, they will want to be your friend. They will want to see your face in the morning and will be more keen to give you the job at their office because in the end of the day they sink. Is this person someone I'd like to talk to, someone I'd like to spend my time with. Are they trustworthy? If they don't like you, they wouldn't want you to be part of their workplace environment. So above all, this is what you should keep in mind. The rest of the things are still important. That no matter what you do during the interview, remember, you want them to like you. In the next videos, we will delve into how to do that and how to show them your professional in subtle ways throughout the interviews. How to show them you're a good fit. Know the answers. They can rely on new professionally while getting them to IQ. 3. Smile!: The first thing to make that happen is going to be short and easy. Smile. Smiling makes you more likeable and more trustworthy. Also, if you don't know what to answer, if you need time to think or even if you don't like the answer you gave, smiling makes the atmosphere more friendly and calm, and makes you seem confident. Smiling creates a connection between you and the other person. It will make them feel like by you and appreciate it. Sure. There's a hierarchy in a job interview. There's the ones in charge in the workplace. You come from the outside. You want to be chosen to make a good impression. But there are people too, just like you, make them feel comfortable and at home with you and they will want to see you more. So smile to them. Sure, don't make it artificial. It depends on who you are as a person, how natural it comes to you. But it's important to smile in a job interview. Smiling makes a good connection. 4. How To Be Yourself: Another thing that will make you likable and will make them feel connected to you. Is eye contact not in a creepy way, yeah, in a friendly, interested way. Look at them. They will see that you are interested in what they have to say when they talk. Not in agreement, not in a creepy way. Yeah. The point is that you should make it seem like they're the most interesting and important people to you right now. So not like you agree with what they have to say, that you're with them, that it shows them that you're listening. Smile. Look them in the eyes. Make sure they know you're listening. These are small gestures that will show them that you're interested in what they have to say and what they're saying is interesting and important to you. 5. Don't Talk (Yes!): We've talked about smiling and nodding. And it's important for us and as I said, to not make it artificial. It needs to be natural within our character and who you are as a person. So be yourself. Back the best version of yourself. Simple, but always true. Be who you are. That will make you seem natural. It will make you feel like a whole complete person. Someone that's more interesting. A person they can understand more and they will feel more comfortable if he doesn't seem like you play a game. You are who you are. But it's important to be the best version of who you are and include all the tapes that I gave you in who you are. So be yourself, but we're likable self, be the person your friends like that your family enjoys. Be or likable self. Be your best version. That job interview appropriate. B21, your friends like and your family, but don't tell the jokes that makes everyone look at you funny. Don't make fun of your interviewers because that's your sense of humor. Don't say joke that not everyone will understand. Try to be careful in this sense. Be your polite version. The point is, let them like you don't put a fence between yourself and the interviewers and just show them how professional and hard-working you are. Show the mirror person. Be easy to talk, to, be funny, be around person they will enjoy their time with. And we will want more of it. 6. Talk and Don't Talk: This is something that's not intuitive, but a very, very good tip that I can give you. Talk only when you have to give a reply and say only what you're being asked. Let the interviewer do the talking, all the talking. They want to, people like to talk about themselves. They like it when people are interested in them. You come to the workplace so you can become a part of it. And you want to seem interested in them. If they want to know anything about your professionalism, you don't need to push it. They will ask, you will have enough opportunities. Often people think they should talk and show how good they are. So they will impress. That's not what the interviewer needs. The interview one cell of that. But they will not want to ask you and to give you enough opportunities to show it to them. But also they want to feel like you are interested in them and why they have to say and the workplace. The one to see you're interested in the organization. So just listen. They talk about organization, of course. If they talk about the role, if they tell you a story, no matter what, listen. Also, don't volunteer information. Wait until you're asked to give an answer and then answer exactly what you were asked. Not less, but also not more. The lessor decided on your own words to say, the less you're likely to make errors. You don't want to start talking about something you are never asked about and then get something wrong or see their face change their expression because you stumbled on something you didn't have to or say something that the interviewer wouldn't like or agree with. So just don't get yourself into corners. So make sure you listen when they talk and when you're asked to give the best answer to exactly what you were asked. 7. How to Show You're Professional: Showing your professional throughout the interview is also important. Of course, it's not just about who you are as a person. They need to get the impression that you know what you're doing. Even more than that. That you are imbedded in the profession. That it's a part of you, that you know the vocabulary in the way of thinking. So besides the correct answers, the formal part of the interview, do something more. Integrate your professionalism in the conversation. Just put in some professional terms, I'll tell jokes that only someone from the inside will understand. Just put it in the conversation in your sentences. Some inside information, professional knowledge. Just put some professional wards. Some things that only someone from the inside will understand, not only as formal answers, but in the conversation in a subtle way, something that is very natural. Why do it? Because it shows your interviewer that you're well imbedded in the profession. You know it so well that it comes naturally to you in the conversation that you know the terms that you have experienced and that it's a part of you, that you don't only think about our profession when you have time to think on your answers, but that it comes natural to you in conversation. It's not essential to do, but it can be a very helpful thing to do to show them your professional in a natural way. 8. What if You Make a Mistake?: No matter how much you prepare, how professional you are, have free to offer the job. You are going to make mistakes. Everyone does or say something and then regret it or say something. And then the here the interviewers say, I don't agree with you, or just see their face turn and happy with what you just said. If that happens, the best you can do is laugh and brush it off. If they tell you that it is like something you said, don't panic. Don't look worried, don't try to take it all back. On the contrary, show confidence. Laugh it off. And even if they disagree with you, it's still lead to regret what you just said. It's better to show them. You're confident that you stand behind your wards. If you do think it's best to take some of it back or you want to correct yourself. Don't ever apologize for your wards or say that you're wrong. Correct yourself with confidence. Say you want to be more accurate or explain what you meant. If you do have to apologize in this situation, do it again with confidence because everyone is wrong sometimes, and there's no shame in saying, sorry. Remember, people make mistakes. They want to see you as a whole and mistaken, be a good opportunity to show them how you handle these situations. Show them you're confident that you don't stress over mistakes, that you don't panic in that you know what we're doing? Yes. Even if they disagree with you, even if you forgot something or said something the wrong way, it happens and it doesn't make you less professional or fit for the job. Remember that 9. Class Project: This is the time to start practicing what you just learned. It's also a good opportunity to get feedback. So let's start our class project. You have two options. You can film yourself and then send it as a video. Or you can write what you want to say in case you feel uncomfortable. So this is what you'll do. Our class projects will be to make a video, alright, a transcript of a self-introduction in a job interview. This will be a good opportunity to practice. Practice what you just learned in this class. Don't forget to smile. B-natural, be who you are. Be yourself. But the best version, make eye contact. You will not have someone to listen to, but make sure you talk, but not too much. Put your professional knowledge in sentences in a subway. If you make a mistake, laughed it off. Don't edit. Do it like in real job interview or you can't edit. And if you make a mistake, just handle it. And generally she make the best impression, well-being yourself, upload it. And then you can also get feedback. Looking forward to seeing you at your best. 10. Summary: This is it the best steps for a good impression in a job interview? It's so short and so simple and it can make all the difference. The basic idea is to get a job. It's not enough to show them your professional. They need to like you. If they like you, it can even compensate other things.
