Do you know the most important trait which recruiters or HRs look for in a candidate during the interview process is their level of confidence with which they face the interview and impress the panel.
Now let’s see a few attributes which can enhance your confidence.
Dress Well
It’s always better to attend interviews in formal attire as you may never go wrong with it. Off late I have seen semi formal also being in trend that is also fine. Pay special attention to your footwear. Reason, I have seen candidates usually going wrong here, which affects their level of confidence. If you are well dressed, you are more confident to face people effortlessly than being embarrassed in front of others.
Rehearse your resume
I have seen people attending
interviews without going through the content written in their resume, which is
a disaster. So, it’s better to read your resume and try to anticipate questions
based on it and be prepared with the answers. When you are well prepared you
won’t panic in the interview that will have an impact on the interviewers.
Respond Carefully
Interviewers may ask
questions from anywhere so you should be prepared for such uncertainty too.
When you come across such situations, you should take a while before answering
them. Reason it will give you the breather time to frame your answer well and
present it in an organized manner. The moment you do that, the interviewer will
easily gauge your level of confidence.
Eye Contact
Always maintain eye contact
with your interviewer but it must be subtle not contact staring type. Try to
keep the process of eye contact as natural as possible, that’s enough for the
interviewer to understand how confident you are in yourself.
