The 23rd winning secret of the lazy girl career guide: Conquer the examiner As the saying goes, a good start is half the success. Although the interview time is short, a good opening is still indispensable. Below, I will introduce a few interview tips to help you make a good start. Tip 1: Smartly use your makeup No matter what kind of company, they don't want their employees to look overly flashy. Avoid heavy makeup during interviews, and keep your hairstyle simple. Pay attention to wearing appropriate, well-maintained clothing. The color of your outfit should be cool-toned, with simple pants and suits showing your stability and elegance. Accessories and jewelry should not be too elaborate. If you wear high heels, make sure they don’t make too much noise when you walk. Tip 2: Smartly use your eyes Everyone knows that the eyes are the windows of the soul. So, girls should pay attention to the special functions of their eyes during interviews! Through eye contact, you can express confidence to the interviewer while also paying attention to reading their body language to defuse awkward situations. 1) Express confidence and sincerity During the interview, the examiner will look at you. If your gaze wanders or avoids his eyes, it shows your nervousness and lack of confidence. Therefore, to appear determined and confident, you should make warm eye contact. A woman’s honesty can be reflected in her eyes, not with a、 gaze. 2) Identify the examiner’s emotions You must recognize the examiner’s changes in body language to understand their true feelings. When the interviewer is bored, they may fidget, look away from you, or tap their fingers on the desk. In this case, try changing the topic or asking questions to bring them back to the conversation. When the interviewer is distracted, their eyes may wander around or focus on something on the desk, indicating they are not listening to what you say. When the examiner is unhappy, they may cross their arms, lean back, or change their posture noticeably. When the interviewer finds your words interesting, they may lean forward, move closer to you, and focus their eyes on you. 3) Observe and respond wisely The most challenging part of an interview is dealing with an examiner with a "poker face," who may smile but shows no warmth in their eyes, with the smile just superficially attached to their face. If you observe the dynamics of their eye movements carefully, you can also see changes in their inner thoughts. If their gaze becomes dim, as if shrinking into their sockets, it shows they no longer trust you. If they look far away, such as at the ceiling or out the window, shifting their attention away from you, it means they are getting bored with your answer. In this case, you should immediately realize you’ve gone off-topic or said too much and try to wrap it up quickly. Tip 3: Smartly use body language During the interview, you have only half an hour to sell yourself. Research shows that 65% of the impression people form during communication is based on non-verbal interaction. Good manners and posture directly reflect a person’s quality and cultivation. If you can skillfully use body language to express yourself, you are sure to win the interview. 1) Knock first, get permission, and then enter the interview room. After entering, greet the employer and introduce yourself. At this time, you can casually hand over a personal resume and skills sheet. Then, wait for the employer’s permission before sitting down. You can shake hands with the other party before sitting down, but don’t force it depending on the situation. 2) Be a bit more reserved, don’t be reckless or wander around. Don’t casually browse the employer’s materials without permission; this is a basic courtesy. 3) Don’t look around or seem too "relaxed" during the conversation. This shows a lack of interest in the employer’s talk and may affect their mood. Sit up straight, don’t cross your legs, and don’t fidget or tap your fingers rhythmically on your knees. These small movements all seem very unstable. P46-47
