Physical Preparation for Interviews - How to success in Interviews

Physical Preparation for Interviews:

Well groomed corporate look of a candidate matters a lot in the interviews. The first impression created by his/her general appearance, personality, fresh looks, smile on face, the way of entering and greeting the board, etc. are of paramount importance. Interviewers carefully watch a candidate as he/she enters the room and walks to the chair to take his/her seat. They also critically observe the physical expression of a candidate when he/she is thinking, responding and reacting.

The general impression of a candidate is dependent on the good appearance, for which it is essential that candidate takes good sleep on previous night, well dressed (shirt-right fit, comfortable collar and light color jacket well tailored and dark in color, tie matching with clothes, trousers without bulge and matching with the jacket, hair short and well cut, beard well trimmed, eye glasses framed to match skin tone and shape of face, slim brief-case and well organised inside, polished shoes and laced, long socks properly matching with trousers, etc. reaching before time, documents arranged properly, no tension or anxiety on face, appearing confident and alert. Preparation for dress, articles needed for grooming, documents (original and photocopies, CVs, blank sheets, pen and pencils, erasers, highlighters), fuel in the vehicle etc. be taken care of one day before the interview so that on the day of interview one need not get perplexed in arranging them. On the day of interview one should prepare to look fresh, clean, neat and well dressed so mat he/she is more comfortable and appear more impressive.

In the interview, apart from general appearance, factors like smile of a person, the way of making eye contact, the way of speaking and expressing, the body language, appearance and alertness also have great influence on success of interview.

The candidate should identify his area of strength and plan so that on getting earliest chance, the candidate should create interest in the interviewers in the same area.

Sometimes the panel can be known beforehand and also their pet areas which should be studied thoroughly before interview.
