1. Stare at eyes of interviewer with a smile.
You have to stare at eyes of interviewer with a smile. It can seem to be lacking in confidence if you look elsewhere. When you stare at eyes of interviewer, interviewer think that you are very confident in that and possessed of powers of concentration.


2. Do not slur the end of your sentences
If you slur the end of your sentences when you answer the question, you look very gloomy. Also, you cannot put your trust if you make a vague answer. Therefore, you have to answer with the confidence.


3. Use polite expressions
Interview is time to stick to formality. Using polite expressions can give a good impression. It is behavior to be eliminated from the recruitment if you use some fad words and coarse language from habit.


4. Speak very clearly and slowly
When you answer the question, you have to speak very clearly and slowly with a low tone. It gives an impression that you are calm and composed person. On the other hand, you may seem to behave frivolously if you speak fastly in a high tone.


5. Speak in a loud voice with the confidence
Loud voice can hide your situation that you are very nervous. You have to answer with spirit in order to deliver your confidence. However, if you speak in a too much loud voice, you seem to be in a buoyant spirit and look frivolous, so be careful to follow this tip.

Interview dress

When you prepare the interview, dress is also important factor to evaluate applicants. A decent appearance makes you be a faithful person. whether there is company's own dress code or not, I recommend formal dress. In this post, I will show you the proper formal suit of men and women.

1. Man

Man's formal suit can be different by the position you apply.

In the company that has a strict organization culture, fashionable dress is not suitable. Therefore, the very basic formal dress would be good.

 
 
 On the other hand, when you apply the position such as marketing and sales, it can be helpful to impress as an active and lively person. So, a little bit fashionable dress get acceptance.

 

It is good to change a necktie and shoes according to the position by maintaining basic formal dress.

 

2. Woman

Woman's formal suit also can be different by the position you apply.

 
 -This is very basic formal dress. It gives an impression of neatness.

-This is a little bit fashionable dress. It gives an impression of liveness.

-This is basic point dress. It gives an impression of sensible person.

-This is one-piece dress. It gives an impression of ladyishness.

Job & Company analysis

When you write cover letter or prepare the interview, it would be better to know information about the company as much as you can. There could be a question about the company to evaluate how much applicants are interested in the company and the position. Therefore, job and company analysis should be preceded before you write cover letter or prepare the interview. In this post, I will let you know the way of analysing job and company.

1. Analyse all the matters of the company

All the matters of the company are name of representative, sales scale, fields of business and the right people for the company. For example, if you apply department store, the questions would be 'how many stores are all over the country', 'what is the composition of department store  by floor', 'which store records the best sales' and so on. Like this, all the matters of the company should be organized briefly.

2. Analyse a job (the position) you apply

Analysing a job and the position can be efficient with SWOT analysis based on international environment of the company. SWOT analysis means analysing strength, weakness, opportunity and threat. That is, you shoud know what the strength and weakness of the company are and what the opportunity and threat according to the change of the market are. In this step, it would be better way to analyse not only objective aspect, but subjective (consumer) aspect. Also, product and service swot analysis is needed as well as the company. Furthermore, it is perfect to think about improvement direction based on a successful case of a leading company.

3. The newest issues about the company

Applicants have to know a neww undertaking project of the company and the events that can affect the company's environment. Therefore, reading the news and think about how it influences on the company.

How to write cover letter

A cover letter is a letter of introduction attached to or accomanying another document such as a resume or curriculum vitae.

Job seekers frequently send a cover letter along with their curriculum vitae or application for employment as a way of introducing themselves to potential employers and explaining their suitability for the desired position. Employers may look for individualized and thoughtfully written cover letters as one method of screening out applicants who are not sufficiently interested in their position or who lack necessary basic skills. Cover letters are typically divided into three categories:

-The application letter or invited cover letter which responds to a known job opening

-The prospecting letter or uninvited cover letter which inquires about possible positions

-The networking letter which requests information and assistance in the sender's job search.

All cover letters should:

-Explain why you are sending a resume.

-Tell specifically how you learned about the position or the organization

-Convince the reader to look at your resume.

-Call attention to elements of your background
— education, leadership, experience
 (That are relevant to a position you are seeking. Be as specific as possible, using examples)

-Reflect your attitude, personality, motivation, enthusiasm, and communication skills.

-Provide or refer to any information specifically requested in a job advertisement
 (It might not be covered in your resume, such as availability date, or reference to an attached writing sample)

-Indicate what you will do to follow-up.

Too much standardized form and sentence cannot attract employer's attention. Therefore, you should include your own original contents and form also have to be designed clearly and neatly. The sample of cover letter is attached down below.

 

Hope to be helpful my post when you write cover letter.
