This is part 3 of the series and so far, we covered what to wear to an interview, as well as how to prepare for an interview. First of all, you need to have the right outfit. If you missed that video, please check it out here, this is essential.

Second, get a haircut before you have an interview. Make sure not to wear an overpowering cologne. Even if you have a higher end cologne, try to stay away from it for a day just take a shower beforehand and you'll be fine. In a professional setting, try to cover your tattoos, of course, if you're applying for a job at a restaurant, it's full of hipsters, you can show your tattoos. It always depends on what the job is about. Before you head out the door, make sure to remove any tags and threads because otherwise, they may think, you have never worn a suit before, you're not in a professional setting and also check for stains and holes because it makes you look sloppy.

Now it's time to get to the interview, make sure to arrive thirty minutes prior to the interview time. I know that may seem like a lot, but it's essential because there can be traffic and things may go wrong and trust me, they will go wrong.

Make sure to turn off your cellphone and if somebody offers you something to drink, don't ask for anything elaborate, just go with plain, non-carbonated water. Next up is interview demeanor, it's very important that you give a good first impression. When somebody comes in, it's important to shake their hand with a firm grip and you have to look them into the eye. Also, offer them a copy of your resume and then let them take the lead. You're in an interview, and you just go along. Tone, body language, and grammar are very important because you want to project professionalism and confidence at all times.

If you're wondering about interview questions, I suggest you check out our interview prep video where we discuss interview question strategies. Once they're done with their questions, it's time for you to ask good questions so it's best you prepare those, make sure to have about 2-3 very good questions that make them think "Wow, this guy really thought about the job and it's a smart question". After the interview is done, it'stime to depart. First, you should ask them what the next steps are then you can shake hands, thank them for their time and then it's time to leave. This is not the time to flirt with the sexy secretary or with anybody else in the building, you simply take your stuff and just leave. Once you're back home, it's important to follow up and it's not just an email, ideally, it's a handwritten thank you note where you express your gratitude that you had your interview and you reiterate that you're interested in the position. This shows you're future employer that you're willing to go the extra mile and that separates you from the crowd. Now, you simply wait for a response.

If you don't hear back from them, you can reach out again and simply follow up, that shows them that you're persistent. Alternatively, you could get a letter of rejection, and now would be a good time to ask what exactly they did not like about you so you could improve for future job interviews. If you receive a verbal offer over the phone or in person, smile, thank them and let them know that you're excited to get it in writing. At this point, it's time for salary negotiations. It's best to come in prepared and look at portals like glassdoor so you know the range of the salary that you can expect but don't overdo it and don't undervalue yourself. Just make sure if you're asking for more money than the average, make sure to back it up. Ideally, the best ways to do it is to one, tell them how you make them more money. Two, how you save the money and three, how you make customers happier. If you want more vacation, now is the time to negotiate it so you should bring it up and explain what you need and why you need it. Last but not least, make sure to give them references if they ask for it, only if they ask for it.
