- Mind it that however educated and experienced you are, companies would not like to hire you if you are rude and arrogant. Especially to the people who are lesser than you in all manners because your character is judged by the way you treat them.
- Finding an apt job for yourself is very difficult and you might have faced many disappointments but make sure that the disappointment doesn’t become too obvious to the employer.
- Check for your tone and body language,which will say more about you than your words do. When you say that you know how to accomplish a job, and what happens if it doesn’t sound like you do, you won’t inspire much of hiring manager’s confidence. So give adequate pauses, and avoid uh, um, like and weak words like “i think i am…”, “ i hope ….” , “i believe i …”.
