Psych2Go 42 TIPS FOR INTERVIEWS Career Building By: Jessica Jang Artwork by: Jane Shi
ISSUE 1 For those trying to get a job, here are some tips for your interviews! You’ve got your foot in the door and now it’s time to tell your story. These are also helpful for conducting your own interviews. Good luck! THE FOUR DIMENSIONS OF SIMPLE ATTENDING BEHAVIOUR Eye contact This is when the interviewer and interviewee look each other in the eyes. The culture and the interviewee might prefer it to others. Body language This is when the interviewer or interviewee communicate other messages based on their movements and posture. Mirroring is when both parties are consistent in their movements and is best done subtly. This helps people become comfortable with you. Vocal qualities This is how loudness, pitch, rate, and fluency affects the interviewee since it can communicate feelings of empathy or cause conflict. It’s best to use a soft, firm voice when interviewing. Verbal tracking This is listening to the interviewee to clarify and summarize what they say without putting their meanings in it. Negative attending behaviors are overused positive attending behavior that it becomes uncomfortable. Excessive head nods are distracting, saying “uh huh” often becomes annoying, too much eye contact overwhelms others, repeating the last words intimidates the client, awkward mirroring looks like mocking. The interviewee doesn’t want to be scrutinized or apprehensive otherwise the interviewer won’t get the true information they want. Remember everything is good in moderation. It’s important to consider culture with attending skills because an interview should be a good environment for getting information and both parties should be respectful of each other. Individuals have a preference on the amount of each dimension of attending behavior. Gestures could convey other messages in other cultures and might not be appropriate. The most important part of interviewing is being a good storyteller. You need to be able to take your past experience and use it to explain how you’ve developed skills important for the new job. DO NOT just repeat your resumes because they have already seen it you just need to expand on it more. A good method to use is to write out your positions then come up with at least three tasks you had to do then the skills related to it. Here’s an example: 1. Cashier a.) Accept currency and keep accounts updated Organization i.) Trustworthiness b.) Clean checkout area i.) Multitasking skills c.) Help customers with purchases i.) Communication/interpersonal skills ii.) Customer Service 43
