- Your resume and job/professional references: Don't just shove these important documents in your briefcase. Experts say that most of your communication is nonverbal. The way you deliver your information tells a lot about you. To do this presentation neatly, get hold of a two-pocket holder in a soothing color that appeals both men and women. Don't select a gaudy folder. Keep your resume on the left side and on the right letters of recommendation and reference list. At the interview you just say that you have brought an extra copy of your resume and here it is. Open the folder and turn it around so that the interviewer can see it. This shows that you are organized, open and honest. Make the interviewer know that you are well prepared for the interview. That is how you can show respect for the job.
- Pen and Pad: Take a few notes during the interview. But don't look into the pad all the time. This is another way of showing your respect for the job and work.
- Visiting card: People get the information by seeing or reading, or by listening to, or through touch; touch is more real. Give them your visiting card and they feel it and that is more real.
- Drive to the interview: Drive to the interview location calmly in advance and park your car. This calm drive lowers your anxiety.
- Cell phone: Keep this gadget in the car. If you have to carry it with you, keep it in your briefcase and be sure that it is switched off. Getting interrupted during interview is a sign of disrespect; you should not appear to be interrupted. Don't, if you are a man, wear it on your belt.
- Company research: Almost all interviewers ask you what you know about the company. To prepare for this you must take the help of Web.
- Put on a smile: It may sound a bit sentimental. But it makes way for good rapport. By just looking at somebody we assess him. A smile gives an impression that you aren't a person who hurts anybody."
