Practical Interview Etiquette

OK, very few of us as the interview process. Unfortunately, you've got to face the music from time to time. Keep these few nuggets in mind when you're going on your next interview or if you want to recommend a colleague:

Be very very honest - if an interviewer to all the senses are evasive in answering questions, or are trying to rig the way through the questions, you're doomed.

Recognizing that the interviewer is looking at both your knowledge and your thought process on how you should deal with the problems - for example, if you get a "how do you build a skyscraper of 150 floors" question, just take a deep breath and start talking through how we should do. Saying things like "Impossible" shows a lack of initiative and creativity and will have a negative impact on the interviewer's perception of you.

Do not lose your temper - the interviewer may be intentionally trying to make you lose your balance and see how easily it can be frustrating. Staying the course and do not allow the interviewer to get under the skin. Answer the questions thoughtfully, not laced with emotion.

Show passion - interviewers want to see how much enthusiasm and energy you're going to wear to work. Be passionate about the job, the company, and products the company sells. Coming up with the emotion of cheese will not leave the interviewer with a feeling of comfort that you are going to attack problems.

Be on time, dress nice and smell good - These are very easy to control and can only help in the impression you make. Make sure your clothing is in style, conservative, and fit properly. Wearing a dress of the 80 that do not button around the trunk could not be the best attention-getter .......
