Selling yourself
I know that having a job interview is like conducting a sales pitch. This time, instead of convincing a consumer to buy a certain product, you are convincing a company to buy YOU! Like all god sales pitch, the important thing is that you leave a good and lasting impression on your interviewer. Just remember that although you should sound confident, do not over assert yourself so you won’t be coming off as too arrogant. Anyway, here are some tips on how you can close the deal:
Emphasize your skills and traits that you think will be of importance in the job you are applying. Make sure that the interviewer knows about this by giving examples when asked for your experiences in certain situations.
State your interest. Do not be anxious but don’t sound that you don’t care if you don’t get the job.
Ask if you need to provide them with other requirement such as references, etc. Ask also about the next step in the process and how to contact them so you’ll know when and how to follow up.
