Answer with a smile (Continued from page 11) Smiling can take the sting out of conflict, and put others at ease. It exudes confidence, selfâ€"assuredness and strength, and it is attractive to other people. These components of style are crucial, because the interviewer will assume that the style shown here is the same style that will be shown in the workplace. Therefore, if any elements of style are difficult for an applicant, they must be practiced and rehearsed before the interview. In terms of content, several quesâ€" tions must be answered. Many of these questions will not, however, be asked directly by the interviewer, so the applicant must know what the real questions are, and initiate topics of conversation that will answer them. It is a great advantage to know the questions one will be evaluated on, because the answers to those questions are often inferred, subjectively, from other seemingly innocuous questions. The "real" questions one is evalâ€" uated on are, is this person enthusiâ€" astic about the job, competent to do the job, eager to learn, able to get along with others, able to work independently, ambitious, with a good track record in previous jobs. Interviewers are not likely to ask, "Are you enthusiastic" or "Do you get along well with others," but they are going to evaluate the applicant on it. Knowing this, it is wise to bring up experiences that insure a positive answer. "I really enjoyed that job at the GM plant because I was able to help others as well as do my own job;" "Since I just graduatâ€" ed from school, I don‘t have any direct job experience â€" but this work interests me so much that I took correspondence courses, got books on it, and learned a lot on my own time." "if I get the job, you‘ll never be sorry;" "I learn fast, and work awfully hard." These statements show enthusiâ€" asm for the job, as well as other positive characteristics (confidence, helping others, eagerness to learn).

In addition to covering the quesâ€" tions that may not be asked, there are a few other related skills that help. First, make positive stateâ€" ments about past experiences, trainâ€" ing, or education â€" facts about one‘s previous responsibilities; enjoyment of past jobs, challenges, or superviâ€" sory duties; information about eduâ€" cational and training accomplishâ€" ments; special competencies or skills; indications of reliability and conscientiousness ("I only missed 1 day of work in the last two years"). It is also important to ask quesâ€" tions, as it shows that you are interâ€" ested in the job, and it helps you to find out if in fact the job is approâ€" priate and appealing to you. One can always ask about the responsiâ€" bilities entailed in the job, the opportunities for advancement, who your direct supervisor will be, etc. These skills do not of course insure that you will get any job you want. they do, however, increase the chances of success on virtually any job interview. Moreover, several American studies have shown that such skills can be trained, and most people who receive such training do subsequently get a job.
