These are great tips for an interview. I think is important to go into an interview being minimal, so nothing can disruptive or distracting. Also if you the interviewer is more serious you should reciprocate that and be more serious, but sometimes the interviewer will be more relaxed and happy then as well you should reciprocate that. I think the best tip the video gave was to negotiate your salary later. When asked how much you want to learn you should never answer that question and try to possible answer that with another back to the interviewer.

These are some great simple tips. Even though she doesnt say alot about the whole process of interviewing, she gives great insight on the simple steps needed to take while at the interview. By making the interviewer comfortable around you and not afraid is essential in an interview process. You have to realize that the interviewer is a person just like you which makes you realize that you can relax and be open in an interview process.

3 Tips For Your Interview
These are great, easily memorable tips to use when interviewing. I haven't interviewed for a job in seven, so these tips will come in handy when I begin preparing to apply for higher positions after completing my MBA. I have always felt that all of the complicated rules given by career counselors to use when interviewing were not necessary. Here we see there are three simple rules: be minimalist and simple when entering the interview and don't bring anything that will cause distraction, mirror the interviewers demeanor and body language, and and do not talk about salary or benefits. Bottom line, go into an interview calm, confident and conversational.

3 Tips For Your Interview
This video was very informative. It included three easy tips for interviews, be minimal, pay attention to the interviewer's body language and never negotiate salary during the interview. These are easy tips to remember and follow during stressful interviews. Don't bring big bags/purses, coffee or a cell phone. They are distracting. Mimic the interviewer's body language. If they are laid back, then you can be laid back. If asked about your salary, politely say you can discuss at a better time. I will remember these for future interviews.

I liked this video, everything that was said in it definitely has meaning in an interview. It makes me feel better because I have had professors in other classes tell me almost the exact same thing and in more detail. The examples that were brought up in this video does hold true in interviews, from saying no to refreshments, to the easiest, leave your cell phone. The most important thing for someone in an interview is to be intimate with the person interviewing you, don't allow for distractions to take you away from what is happening in the room, the same goes for the interviewer. Be professional in the interview, stay on subject, be respectful, and carry yourself with confidence.

3 Tips For Your Interview
I think I'm a pretty good interviewee. I have always felt that all of the complicated rules given by career counselors to use when interviewing were not necessary. Just be who you are, dress well, and be on time and you're winner.

TITLE - 3 Tips For Your Interview
This video offered 3 good tips about interviewing. I have been involved in several interviews and have practiced all 3 tips the video suggests...and they work! By being on the same page (reflecting the same emotion) with the interviewer, you allow yourself to show them that you can fit into the organizations culture. Also, I agree that you should not bring in too many extra belongings with you in an interview, but a small purse or hand bag that is work appropriate is okay in my opinion.

This video give the viewer 3 really good tips on what to do while in an interview. 1 empty your pockets, you don't want to be distracted while be interviewed. 2 put up a mirror, mirror the the person thats interviewing you's personality and body language. Negotiate later, tell them that you can talk about salaries at a later time you are just trying to figure out if this would be a good fit.

Oh the joy of self help tips and 1-minute videos! Perhaps the only thing mentioned in this video that I would mess up in an interview is about the pay. I would normally think that pay demonstrates skill level and the employer would want to know that. However, this video provided a new perspective on that. Otherwise, yes gauging how the employer personifies him/herself demonstrates your own ability to interact with others. Especially if you two are total opposites, it makes you feel successful at this one important skill.

3 Tips For Your Interview I enjoyed this video and think that these tips are useful. I especially like the mirroring points. Reading your interviewer is important, and just saying what you think they want to hear is a waste of both of your time, but by mirroring them, you are able to connect with them while still giving honest, personalized answers.

This video gave the three best tips that I think are certainly the most important. The mirroring points help to show the interviewer that you are paying attention and that you are truly interested in the job. Leaving the phone in the car is a great tip- our world is so cluttered and distracted by technology that making sure the interviewer has your full attention is important and leaving your phone in the care lets you do that with out having to worry about it. These tips are great ways to connect with the interviewer while still being honest, and personable in the interview.

I would definitely share this link with friends and colleagues. Thank you professor. I think this video is very important especially in a senior level class. These tips can be the make/breaking point in getting a position with a company. I have enough experience in interviewing to know that you never talk salary on the 1st interview. it is always very important to make sure the candidate is an organizational fit. If it not a good match then you are both wasting your time

TITLE- 3 Tips For Your Interview
Interviewing is a difficult task to predict the right or wrong way of doing. In my opinion, there is no guideline or full-proof way of going about it. Obviously an interviewee should not have a phone, coffee, or ask about how much they will make. But whose to say that mirroring the interviewers body language is a good thing. In the interviews I have given, I often try to portray sternness or a bit more serious than usual. This is not to say that I haven’t been delighted or even at times highly impressed with an interviewee who see’s that and is still able to portray enthusiasm, energy, or different physical characteristics than mine. Ultimately, I think that the interviewee must use their instincts and personal intuition in an interview because there are times when taking risks in that situation result in a reward.
