Interviews are a form of dialogue between two people. But interview is more than just conversation between them. The interviewer asks question expecting series of answers from interviewee and models the queries in such a way that it brings out the what he want. This process can be daunting for the interviewee so there are a few things that can be done to face an interview.
First Impression
Be prepared for the interview. "Interviewers will start assessing you as soon as you arrive, so your presentation and attitude are very important. (Times, 2017)” Dress well and comfortably. Generally the first question are introduction so speak clearly, politely and make eye contact. This give off a good first impression.
Confidence and Positive
Show confidence in the work that you have applied for. Use words such as I can add value, or I am why you want to work for the organization, what makes you right for the job etc. These must be based on the job requirement. Do not speak negatively about your previous job or boss.
Stay calm and do not loose temper
Rabi Lamichhane, a journalist, interviewd Mr. Lal Bahadur Raut the head of Province two on the distorted shape of the Nepali flag at the time of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Nepal. Mr. Raut lost his temper when he was questioned strongly where he eventually sounded aggressive and cut off the phone interview. (Nepal, 2018) This action portrayed his image negatively to all the people watching the show. He should have instead said I do not know why it happened, apologized and talked about finding what had happened so as not to repeat it in future. Simple answer yet effective.
Ask Questions
Taking an interview does not mean you cannot ask questions. If there is something you are unclear about, ask them to clarify it so your answer is correct instead of assuming and answering wrong.
Things you cannot control
You cannot control the environment of the interview.
The interviewer question and their delivery cannot be controlled.
You cannot control what the audience think about your responses.
Interviewer can be biased, which cannot be controlled.
These are something you can control and something that are out of your control.
