Focus and the Money Question
Posted by Robert on Mar 13, 2008
The first interview is always important; it’s your chance to shine, so you should bring out your best. Below are some tips on how to make your interview a pleasant experience.
Always stay focused on the subject at hand. If the interviewer is asking for your educational background, it’s better if you give the facts and get straight to the point. Interviewers get easily irritated with “around-the-bush” type of answers. It just shows that the applicant is unsure or is hiding something from him or her.
Don’t ask about the compensation yet. Doing so, we’ll make you look too much of a money-centered person. Let the interviewer discuss this in his or her own time. This information is usually provided on the second or third interview. Right now, they’re just concerned if you’re the right person for the job or not.
