So many articles have been written on how to give interviews. With so many do’s and don’ts many feel like running about in circles still without a clear picture. True, all articles are very helpful but the point is that how much help YOU can derive out of them.
The basic idea which we emphasize in amlaan.com is to be at your natural self.
Yes, your style is the best style. No particular handshake or dress or posture is specifically correct except that which is with positive attitude and genuineness.
Since action and thoughts are inter-related all we need to do is to adopt positive behavior or streamline it. The most important thing is dressing because that is what can be more specifically outlined for interview and can be adopted straightaway. Behavior needs to be modified with time and any superficiality depicts hypocrisy and does not impress.
Dress: Neatness is the bottom-line. Nothing should be taken for granted. Shoes reveal a lot of ones attitude. Well combed hair, ironed clothes, clipped fingernails all mean a lot.
Obviously you will not think of wearing the same type of dress what you might have worn in picnic or trekking. We all know what formal and informal dressing is.
