Five ways to nail your next job interview

Five ways to nail a job interview

In the past few months we at the Unemploymentality have provided you with a wealth of practical job seeking tips to help you survive and thrive in this down economy.  If you’ve followed our advice you’ve already sexed up your resume with a custom header, extended your job search through alternative networks like the casual carpool and chiseled yourself some rock-solid abs to show off at the interview.  But even with these fool-proof ways to get your foot in the door, if you can’t handle yourself like a baller in the interview, then you’ll never seal the deal and earn yourself that paycheck.  So without further ado, here are five interview tips that are a surefire way of impressing the pants- suit right off of any potential employer.

1) Dress to impress and let your inner tiger roar: Most of us try to manage our lives with humility.  But let’s face it.  That doesn’t get us anywhere in a job interview.  So instead of trying to mute the tiger within, let your wardrobe amplify its roar.  For you, this might mean trading in the desperately searching hipster look for the more confident power suit and tie.  For me, this means putting the pastels aside for a David Hasselhoff-ian black jeans and jacket ensemble (circa Knight Rider, 1982), and forgoing a tie for a cavalier poof of chest hair.  A look that says, “Hello world!  I’m here to kick ass and take some names (right after I articulate my career objectives and how I effectively manage conflict in the workplace).
