Interview Tips - Personality

The interviewer is not merely assessing your skills and experience, but whether they think you'll fit in.

Try to develop a rapport with your interviewer. The more the interviewer feels comfortable with you, the better the interview will go. Look for clues in the interviewer's office - family photos, framed certificates, prints on the wall and discuss common interests.

Take note:

• a firm handshake
• eye contact should be maintained
• don't digress, stick to the point
• avoid jargon
• don't fidget, and
• watch the interviewer's body language.
