Important Etiquette Points for Interviews

Good manners go a long way in making a good impression on a potential employer. 

• Make proper eye contact. 
• Say please and thank you during the interview. 
• Greet people with a friendly and firm hand shake. 
• Use good posture by sitting up properly in the chair during the interview. 
• Use proper grammar. Avoid slang and slurring words together.
• Be sure to end with something positive.
• Write thank you notes to those who have been helpful and encouraging in the job search process. 

All these habits can build your image as a person of success. 

Until next time ...
