Here are a few tips you should know in order to use your personality to help your interview rather than hurt it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Practice, practice, practice<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I tend to get nervous during interviews and clam up. Because of that, I usually do best in interviews when I try to take off some of the pressure that can make me freeze up. One of the best ways to do this is by practicing. The more you know what to expect in an interview the more relaxed and prepared you\u2019ll be. Try looking for as many interview examples beforehand and write down key bullet points you would use in response to that question.\u00a0 You can even print this out and review it before the interview so that you have quality answers and examples ready for some of the key interview questions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Talk<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you get anxious during high-pressure situations and typically don\u2019t say much when you do, this could easily happen during your interview. If you don\u2019t say much, employers might not be convinced of your qualifications or won\u2019t think you really want the position. In order to overcome this, try to include at least one example from your previous experience with each relevant interview question. This will help make sure you\u2019re not being short with the interviewers or making them dig for information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Smile and relax<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t stress these two enough. If you\u2019re nervous, stiff and unsmiling then interviewers might perceive you as cold, boring or impersonal and that won\u2019t win you any brownie points. Try to smile to lighten the mood. \u00a0While you want to portray professionalism you also don\u2019t want to take yourself too seriously and look like someone others wouldn\u2019t get along with in the office. Remember that what you say is only part of your interview. Non-verbal communication plays a huge role in your interview success so try to relax and use positive body language to your advantage.<\/p>\n<p>Introverts and extraverts interact with the world differently, but both have their strong points which make them valuable and effective employees. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sba.gov\/blogs\/4-interview-questions-get-heart-candidates-potential\" target=\"_blank\">Communicating in an interview <\/a>is, in general, perhaps less intimidating for an extravert, but extraversion can have its own pitfalls. If you are prepared, relaxed, upbeat, and interested in the job, your more thoughtful personal style can be to your advantage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re an introvert, going out on job interviews and charming employers might not be your strong point.\u00a0 In fact you may dread interviews and stress about it for days, or even weeks before.
