how to ace job interview questions: part 1

Last week we talked about how to prevent yourself in an interview.  Here is a brief recap:
  • Be early
  • Dress professionally 
  • Bring a portfolio (or at least a pad of paper and a pen to take notes-- it shows you care)
  • Make direct eye contact
  • Shake hands firmly (but no death grip :)
  • Non-verbal communication
    • Body language
    • Distance from other person
    • Stance/posture
    • Hand gestures
    • Facial expressions
  • Para-verbal communication ("it's not what you said, it's how you said it")
    • Volume
    • Speed/pace
    • Tone
    • Pauses
  • Verbal communication
    • The words you use only account for 5% of the other person's overall impression of you!
