YOU NEVER GET A SECOND CHANCE TO MAKE A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION
It takes only 30 seconds for a interviewer to form an opinion about you.
The opinion will be based on:
• The way you dress, act and walk through the door - 55%
• The quality of your voice, grammar and overall confidence - 38%
• What you actually say - 7%作者: 136mydream 时间: 3-4-2009 21:47
Job Interview Goal
Show the prospective employer that you have the skills, experience, ability and personal qualities to do the job in offer and that you can successfully fit into the organisation and its work culture.
Interviewers are seeking the answers to 3 absolutely fundamental questions:
1.Can you do the job? Do you have the qualifications, skills and/or experience to do the job?
2.Will you do the job? Do you have the motivation, attitudes and career goals.
3.Will you fit in? Are you a cultural match to the organisation.作者: 136mydream 时间: 3-4-2009 21:47
