Job Interview Tips & Etiquette

About this video

The Gazette team provides comprehensive interview etiquette and demeanor guidance, covering personal presentation, arrival strategies, handshake and seating protocol, body language and tone during interviews, question preparation, post-interview follow-up procedures, salary negotiation tactics, and recommendations for the first day on the job.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends arriving 30 minutes early, reviewing questions beforehand, and contacting reception 5-10 minutes before the scheduled time to demonstrate preparedness and professionalism.
• The Gazette team emphasizes maintaining proper posture, firm handshakes, eye contact, and avoiding fidgeting or crossed arms to project confidence and competence throughout the interview.
• The Gazette team argues that sending a handwritten thank you note after the interview, asking clarifying questions that demonstrate research, and following up persistently distinguishes candidates from competitors.
• The Gazette team recommends using resources like Glassdoor to research salary ranges and backing up requests for higher compensation by explaining how you’ll increase revenue, save money, or improve customer satisfaction.
