Do not be afraid of interviews, be afraid of their absence: how can an immigrant properly present himself during an interview with an employer

How many times since 1996, since the beginning of my work in the USA, have I been interviewed? I went through it myself and participated in preparing my husband, sons, friends, clients for them... I can’t count them. Over the years I have developed a few tips that I hope will help you too. Don't be afraid of interviews, be afraid of not having them.

1. Do not be afraid of your accent — the most common language in California is… broken English. You were not invited to the position of professor of American pronunciation vocabulation. Your resume says you graduated from a polytechnic in a country other than San Luis Obispo. Your accent is a part of you, your Self, and your Self should sound proud.

2. You must look 100

Clothing should be comfortable and consistent with the style of the company that invited you to the interview.

Nothing contributes to your nervousness more than the tightness of your new shoes and the sideways glance of the interviewer at your Nordstrom suit when he himself is in a T-shirt and shorts. Study photos of employees in the company where you are going for an interview in advance, and dress one level higher. He is in shorts - you are in trousers, he is in a T-shirt - you are in an ironed shirt. Please note: the quality of the suit, shoes, watches, and jewelry plays a role.

3. Brevity is the sister of talent

This does not apply to the length of the skirt, but directly to the size and number of decorations. Only strict elegance. And you can put a lucky pendant in your pocket - it will work just as well.

On the subject: Three questions that must be asked to the employer at the interview

The smell of a fume, interrupted by coffee beans, or a cigarette smoked to raise your spirits, may cost you a position that you have almost taken. Only the lazy did not read how alcohol and nicotine act on the brain. And your future employer needs people with healthy brains.

The strong smell of perfume will prevent contact. Refrain. Better not smell anything from you.

Bring deodorant with you - sometimes interviews last for hours.

Your main decoration is an open smile. Sincerely express your joy at being interviewed at such a company and meeting these people.

4. We have two ears and one mouth: try to listen more and answer questions clearly and shortly

Don't talk about yourself and your achievements. If they want, they will ask.

Show a keen interest and awareness of the good deeds of the company, and not like “they say your general manager was imprisoned yesterday.”

5. Sociable, according to statistics, prefer smart and knowledgeable

And less often they get fired.

Stay calm and friendly even if you are three times PhD.

6. Don't be desperate. It is read

Using available psychological trainings, tune in to the position “They need me!” I can convey to them how useful I will be to them.”

Don’t be “wondered,” especially if you came to a company where you don’t want to work, but just for training. Let them offer you a job, and then we’ll see.

7. You will definitely be asked questions that you fear..

Work them out and bring your condition to the desire that they ask you.

For a novice specialist or someone who has recently arrived in the country, questions about practical work experience in the USA often become such a stumbling block. Internship, a real one, helps the best - both for a resume and for an interview.

8. Comb your image on social networks

The plot "How I get drunk drowned my bike on May 1" may not be pleasant to everyone.

9. If possible, find friends in the company in which you are going for an interview, and ask for advice, not help.

Helping is scary for many, but sharing your experience and giving advice is nice.

If you talk to them correctly, they will put in a good word for you, but only the closest can ask for it directly.

Actually, nobody canceled the blat.

10. Your main and main sources in preparation for the interview: people who know and appreciate you - relatives, friends, teachers, and good realtors who have a lot of acquaintances in a variety of fields.

11. Just believing in victory is not enough. You have to feel it.

Imagine the positive outcome of this particular interview in specific details: how you park the car in the underground garage at this job, the green grass at your new home, which you buy after receiving this job, pleasant fatigue at the end of the day after you decide what was set by the manager task, and the whole department looked at you with respect.
