Tested tricks to Acing the Interview and Landing the Job!

In high-pressured situations, you can easily forget to do obvious things-like speak. So to really ace an interview, remember these ten tips

1-Offer up your firmest handshake.

Dry off those palms and land a strong one right in your interviewer's hand. This shows confidence and grace under pressure. Don't try to crush the interviewer's hand, but no matter what, it's important to be FIRM.

2-Make eye contact. 

Looking your interviewer straight in the eye shows that you are confident and honest. This will impress them and make you appear capable.

3-Smile. 

Shining your pearly whites show you are easygoing and relaxed.

4-If they offer you a drink, take one. 

Everyone in an interview is so quick to say, "no thanks" when they are offered coffee, juice or water. Go ahead and take it. You can take sips while you think about your answers… it will buy you time.

5-Sit up straight. 

Just ask Mom. It works every time.

6-Speak up - but never interrupt. 

There's nothing worse than an interviewee who doesn't speak unless spoken to, or, even worse, responds simply with a sedate "yes" or "no." Nod. A simple bob of the head demonstrates your interest in what your interviewers are facing, and that you are paying attention.

7-Shove in comments  

about how nice the neighborhood, office, and area is. Make sure to offer up some compliments about the surroundings.

8-Laugh - if at all possible. 

Think about it: wouldn't you want to hire someone with an easygoing personality?

9-Breathe. 

Inhaling and exhaling will keep you calm and more prepared for whatever is thrown at you.

10-Don't freak out if you make a mistake!
