02 Jul 09 How To Look Good At Your Job Interview
When you are responding to your questions at your medical job interview, you have to think about how you can carry out the following things, when you are hassled.
Deliberate them and if they make sense, try doing them. Then make a cognizant effort to do them in your job interview. You may want to jot down some of them down and put them on a small piece of paper to remind you on the day!
Make eye contact with the interview panel, before you open your mouth to speak. Making eye contact makes you look more confident and look more honest.
Sit straight on the chair and be conscientious but relaxed.
Keep your facial expressions and hand gestures instinctive.
Try not to squirm around and look on edge or tense – even if you are!
Stick to the point at hand. Do not blabber or go off topic too much. Try to keep your language precise, but complete.
Create a structured and commonsense answer to help make yourself plainly understood. Try to not use jargon.
Speak confidently so that you can be heard – but do not yell. Do not speak too quickly … or too leisurely. Adjust your tonality and pace and use your voice to reflect the meaning of what you are trying to say.
Oh, and lastly, by no means argue with the interview panel.
Hope these help you to answer your questions better and increase your chances of performing well at your medical interview
