Successful job interviews are often as much about the personalities of the participants as they are about the qualifications of the applicant. Both people are trying to sell something. The prospective employee is certainly trying to prove that he is the best candidate for the position, while the company's representative is not only seeing if the applicant will fit in, but is also hoping to present a terrific workplace. Proper etiquette, for both parties, will help them to achieve their goal. Here are a few guidelines when it comes to job interview etiquette.

For the interviewer:
  1. Before the applicant arrives, take a few moments to familiarize yourself with her resume. She deserves to be treated respectfully, and knowing a little bit about her background will show that you are giving her application true consideration.

  2. Be available at the appointed time. This sends the message that you see that the applicant's time is as valuable as yours.

  3. Greet the prospective employee warmly and make an effort to put him at ease. Introduce yourself, invite the applicant to take a seat, and offer a refreshment, if available. Maintain a pleasant appearance at all times. Not only is it polite to lessen his anxiety, but by making him comfortable, you will establish a friendly rapport, encouraging him to be open and honest with you.

  4. Do not ask illegal questions or try to put the candidate on the spot. This makes both you, and your company, look unprofessional. Encourage an atmosphere of trust. Also, feel free to present your company in its best light, but be honest. The candidate deserves to know about her earning and promotion potential.
