How do I come across on an interview?

It's important to understand how others see you, not just how you see yourself. So, what is the best way to find out? Ask a friend? Nah...biased. Ask a co-worker? Nope...people are not always as brutally honest as you might need them to be.



If you really want to know (and you should), you're going to have to do something, and I assure you, most of you won't like it. Do you have a video camera or a web cam at home? Well, break it out. Sit down in front of it and film yourself performing a mock interview.

Now here's the hard part....watch it!

Most people don't want to see themselves on camera. It can be an eye opening and sometimes uncomfortable experience. But for the purposes of your upcoming interviews, it's a necessary evil.

You'll accomplish two things by performing this task.

1. You'll be able to hone in on your strengths and weaknesses. After several filmings, you're going to start to see that you are coming across more and more naturally and there will be a certain "flow" to your answers.

2. Your level of confidence when going into the actual interview will be much, much higher, since you know some of the things that you'll be saying and have worked out most of the kinks when presenting yourself.

You can upload your interview at Myworkster.com in the portfolio section to allow others to view and critique your performance if you'd like. Hey...let me know that you did and I'll check as many of them as I can!

Best of luck.
