Many candidates will offer a great interview and then fail to close it properly. This is like baking a terrific cake and forgetting to put on the icing. The closing of your interview is the most memorable part not only because it comes at the end of your time together, but because you are able to interject your own personality, comments and questions into the conversation with the interviewer.

Ask Questions

You should be well prepared for the interview with questions of your own to show that you’re considering their company as much as they are considering you. You should ask questions that show you’ve paid attention to information in the interview and done research on your own before coming into speak to the interviewer. If the interviewer doesn’t ask for your questions, be sure to ask her, “Do you mind if I ask you a few questions before we finish?”

Reinforce Your Attributes

When the interviewer makes a statement similar to, “If you have nothing else, that will be all,” offer a respectful closing comment reiterating your strengths and how they tie into the critical skills the company is seeking. Include four or five reasons why you should have the job and show your knowledge of the company in the process.

“This is an exciting position and I know that my experience with teamwork will help me mesh well with the existing sales team, my industry knowledge will be useful in developing new leads and my time spend building industry contracts will help to solidify my client list almost immediately. The work I’ve done with your computer system will give me ad advantage in that area as well.”

Alleviate Concerns

If you suspect the interviewers have any concerns about you as the right applicant, your next statements should alleviate those concerns. It is wise to give the interviewer a chance to state concerns so that you can address them, “I believe I’m the right candidate for this position. Do you see any issues that might make you think otherwise?”

Express Enthusiasm

Your enthusiasm for the position and company should be shining through during the interview process, but be sure to include a few direct positive remarks about the company and position as well.

Determine the Next Step

Be sure you ask for the next step in the hiring process. This will show you are an organized and professional candidate. If possible, establish a time frame for the hiring decision as this will give you critical information about how and when to follow up.

Thank the Interviewer

Finally, thank your interviewer graciously and stand to shake her hand. Keep confident eye contact during the handshake and walk out of the room knowing you’ve done well.

Article Title: Haunted By Low Grades? Here is What You Should Do

If low grades are a sticky spot for you in your job search, there are ways to handle the issue without detracting from who you are as a professional today. Grades, in general terms, are only an issue for those who have recently graduated and are seeking entrance into a professional field. Once you have experience in a field, grades in coursework cease to hold much importance. If you are troubled by low grades, however, you should work around them as much as possible and confront the issue head on only when asked.

Leave GPA Off Your Resume

If your GPA isn’t one to be especially proud of, you can leave it off your resume. While this might not be in line with the typical resume of the recent graduate, your experience in other areas, such as jobs held while in school or leadership in organizations might compensate for the missing GPA. If you feel you must include a GPA, calculate the GPA for classes dealing only with your college major and include it was well. You can put your overall GPA under your Major GPA to show that you know your stuff, even if you suffered in your first year of school.

Don’t Bring Up Grades

There is no reason to bring up your grades if nobody asks about them. Simply refrain from mentioning them and the rest of your dazzling interview might give the company what it needs to make a decision without even bothering with averages and coursework.

Be Honest if Grades Do Come Up

If the subject of your grades does come up, be honest with your response. If the reason for your grades is one that is not conducive to employment, such as heavy partying, you might rephrase that to say that you neglected your studies to pursue other opportunities on campus, but soon realized that coursework was most important and changed tactics, but not before your GPA was damaged.

When you do mention your grades, give the reason why they were low and then, of course, spin the response in a positive way.

Examples of this include:

“I wish I could tell you why I didn’t work my hardest that first year, but that person is so different from who I have become. I’m honestly not sure what was going on in my head four years ago. Fortunately, I can say that today I am hardworking and the grades in my most recent courses reflect this.”

“Theory based classes weren’t particularly interesting to me, so my grades suffered in my first year of school. When I started practical classes that developed the kinds of skills I need for my career, however, I was much more involved in the coursework and my grades and abilities improved accordingly.”

“I had a hard time balancing a full-time job (family responsibilities, etc…) with coursework initially, but as I developed stronger time-management skills, I was better able to handle a tremendous number of responsibilities. This has given me a huge advantage in my chosen career as I’m ready to take on multiple tasks and deadlines to get the job done.”

Article Title: How Do You Handle Job Interview Jitters?

It’s perfectly natural to feel nervous about a job interview, but when your nerves start to overwhelm you with interview jitters, you’ll likely lose focus on what’s important and start to worry about your sweaty palms or twitchy eyelid instead. Handling job interview jitters is no more complicated than finding ways to handle other nervous situations you’ve encountered in your life.

Preparation is Key

If you compare an interview to a final exam, you likely felt a bit jittery but confident going into the exam you studied for. Any exam you failed to prepare will likely set your heart pounding and possibly brought on tremendous anxiety. The key to reducing nerves and jitters is to prepare for the interview as much as possible. Research possible interview questions and write out thoughtful responses. Try on your interview outfit beforehand and be sure it fits well and feels good. Research the company and the position so you are informed. Use a mirror or friend to practice answering some basic questions so you feel warmed up and ready ahead of time.

Remember the Two-Way Street

Every interview is a two-way street. While the company is interviewing you, you are also gaining valuable information about the company and position as well as making your own decision about working for the interviewer. Focusing on your own observations rather than on how well you’re measuring up to another’s observations will help you relax and give your mind a better angle throughout the interview process.

Keep Up the Conversation

An interview doesn’t have to be a question and answer session. In fact, it’s much more beneficial to you to treat it as a conversation between two nicely dressed people. Treat every question as you would one at a dinner party. Answer carefully with politeness and a conversational tone. Don’t be afraid to ask the interviewer questions of your own to help you expand your response – or rather, your side of the conversation.

Use the Energy

If your stomach is churning and you can feel anxiety building, consider it fuel for what’s ahead and push it back into your lower abdomen. Rather than feeling sick from that anxiety, make it a positive energy – more like excitement about the opportunity. This is in the realm of mind games, but if you can channel the nervous energy into enthusiasm, you’ll be helping yourself tremendously rather than feeling slightly ill throughout the interview.

Quit Caring

You only feel nervous because you care about how the interview goes. In a bit of reverse psychology, remind yourself why this particular interview isn’t all that important. You might remind yourself of other prospects or treat it like a practice interview, but if you can convince yourself this interview isn’t life or death, it likely won’t feel that way anymore. If you’re prepared well enough, having a laid-back attitude will let your abilities shine through more effectively anyhow.
