"Interview Tip"

How to Avoid Appearing Narcissistic in Job Interviews

• Job interviews often favor confident individuals, but this can inadvertently highlight narcissistic traits, making it crucial to differentiate oneself.

• Instead of self-praise, provide specific examples with measurable outcomes to build trust and demonstrate competence.

• Showing humility by acknowledging limitations and demonstrating a willingness to learn is more attractive than pretending to know everything.

• Emphasize empathy by considering others' perspectives and including them in your narrative when describing past experiences.

• Focus on the interviewer, listen actively, and ask clarifying questions to show genuine interest and differentiate yourself from those who monologue.

"Interview Tip"

The Unspoken Interview Test: Mastering Initial Impressions

• Veteran recruiter Sharon Armstrong emphasizes that initial impressions, formed within the first two minutes, heavily influence hiring decisions.

• Simple pleasantries like answering "how was your journey?" reveal much about a candidate's composure, thought process, and ability to handle pressure.

• A calm, positive response demonstrates self-awareness and reliability, while a flustered reaction might suggest stress or disorganization.

• Recruiters often gather additional feedback from receptionists and observe candidates' behavior throughout the interview process, including informal conversations and even how they handle their coffee cup.

• Mastering these seemingly insignificant moments can significantly improve a candidate's chances of success by showcasing their personality and professionalism.

"Interview Tip "

Best Answer for "Biggest Weakness" Interview Question

• To impress interviewers when asked about weaknesses, focus on skill gaps relevant to the job rather than personality flaws.

• Instead of admitting personality weaknesses, highlight a lack of experience in a specific area relevant to the position, showing willingness to learn and improve.

• This approach presents a fixable weakness, demonstrating honesty and openness to growth, making a better impression than revealing personality flaws.

"Interview Tip"

Be prepared to speak professionally!

Make sure that you think about how what you’re saying will come across to the hiring managers.

Before the interview, go over the job description and think about what makes you the best person for the role. Knowing where you fit in, in advance, will boost your confidence.

Avoiding sayings like "wanna" or "fab" and fillers such as "um" or "like" can also make you sound more confident and will make a better impression on the hiring manager.

Are you familiar with the terms that may be specific to your job or industry? Make sure you cover these in your interview preparation. #AWU #disability #interviewtips

"Interview Tip"

Resist the Urge!

If you glance at your watch or phone during an interview, even subtly, it signals that you’re not fully engaged or that you’re rushing through the process.

This shows lack of focus, lack of respect, and makes you memorable in a bad way.

What you can do: Keep your watch and phone out of sight during the interview to avoid temptations. Focus entirely on the interviewer and the conversation. This is your time to shine. #AWU #disability #jobs #interviewtips
