Make an Impact in Your New Media Jobs Interview


by Martin Hofschroer

In today's competitive new media jobs market it is more important than ever to leave a lasting impression in an interview. Being remembered is crucial to progressing past the interview process but you must ensure it is for all the right reasons and if you are serious about getting the best new media jobs, follow these top tips. The most vital thing to remember is to be punctual for your interview as this will demonstrate to potential employers that you will be able to turn up on time for work on a regular basis. Preparation is fundamental as the old saying of "failure to plan is to plan to fail" rings true for interviews so do the basics of researching the position and the employer to ensure there are no slip ups on the day. Discover a set of sample interview questions on the internet so that you are aware of what stock queries will be asked but be wary not to mimic the answers as they may not be appropriate for the new media jobs industry. There are a number of things to remember the day before the interview which will help you combat any stress and the first thing to do is to find what clothes you want to wear as this will save precious time on the big day. Your interview clothes should be smart and formal and once you have selected the most appropriate outfit, keep it in a safe place where they will not be at risk from stains and marks. What you eat will also affect how you perform in the interview so make sure that you consume healthy food that will provide a physical and mental energy boost during your dialogue. Basic manners like turning off your mobile phone before the interview is always smart as an untimely ring tone can be both embarrassing and disrespectful and will ultimately ruin your chances of getting the job. Maintain positive body language throughout the process as this will show that you are enthusiastic about your potential employers and the available position that you are applying for. Try to sit up straight and look your interviewer in the eye wile avoiding appearing nervous by biting your nails, covering your mouth during speech and repeatedly touching your face. If you follow all of this advice then you will dramatically improve your chances of finding employment but I would always recommend getting feedback from a new media jobs recruitment agency before becoming an applicant.
