A job interview is a nerve racking experience for most people – probably even more so if you’re a teen. But with a little preparation in advance, it doesn’t have to be so bad. Here are 10 job interview tips for teens to help you ace your next job interview:
- Before going for an interview, try to do a bit of research about the company that you’re going to be interviewing with. Often, interviewers ask you what you know about their company and it will be a big plus in your favor if you can impress them with what you know about their company. This will show that you did your homework.
- Prepare what you’re going to wear to your interview at least one day in advance and try everything on in the mirror to make sure everything looks alright and nothing needs your attention. Be sure to iron your clothes in advance and hang it up along with any accessories that you might wear. When you put your clothes on for the interview, you should be able to look at yourself in the mirror and say “dang, I look good!”
- For those of you who are horrible about keeping track of time, do not, I repeat: DO NOT be late. If you’re late for the interview you are about to get, your boss will probably think that you’re also going to be late for work and not put much effort, care, or thought into actually doing your job as well.
- Make sure that you’re always as friendly as you can be towards everyone that you meet, no matter who they are. That guy that you told to go away because he was annoying may actually be your future boss!
- When you meet your interviewer for the first time, make sure you give him or her a nice firm handshake – not wimpy and not bone-crushing.
- Pay attention to the way you walk. No, I’m not kidding about this. When you walk, you should walk with confidence – not shuffling your feet.
- During the interview, remember to smile – but don’t force it, just let it come naturally.
- Keep your posture good and straight. Ever hear your mom tell you, “Don’t slouch!” ? There’s a reason for that. Slouching makes you look nervous and unconfident, while holding yourself up straight makes you appear comfortable and confident at the same time. Not only that, but keep your chin up. You don’t have to raise it to the sky, but don’t lower your head as if you’re afraid or nervous.
- Most of all, just relax. Be confident in yourself and know that you’re good enough to get this job. If you do that, you’ll have no problem at all with getting this job and you’ll probably impress your manager who’s interviewing you, which will definitely help and raise your chances of landing this job!
OK now go out there and knock them dead!
