Interview preparation for new media jobs can be difficult but following these tips will help you conquer you fears.You normally have half an hour to sell yourself to interviewers so ensuring that you do not make mistakes is crucial and effective preparation will equip you with the skills to get the new media jobs you want.Ensuring that you are perfectly presented is essential because your appearance provides interviewers with their first impression of you and this will set the tone of the interview. Look professional by grooming yourself and wear a suit or formal clothes but if you are unsure about the appropriate dress code then it is advisable to phone ahead to enquire about the most suitable clothes. It is always important to appear overdressed rather than scruffy because this will demonstrate that you are keen to land the job and are willing to go the extra mile to achieve your goal. Wearing formal clothes will make you feel more professional and this will help with your body language which is crucial to how you come across in interviews as a nervous person is unlikely to be employed. Although nerves can help with adrenalin, appear confident and greet your interviewer with a firm handshake and friendly smile while maintaining eye contact as this will emit a positive vibe. After completing a confident start the next step is to appear relaxed and listen carefully to the questions you are being asked without bamboozling your interview with overlong answers. Researching the company and job position will enable you to give concise answers and avoid waffle which is a sure sign that you have not prepared or are uninterested in the available position.If you find yourself going off on a tangent, get back to the question in hand because there will be limited time to showcase your talents and this should not be wasted on irrelevant chatter. People who are already confident should be wary about coming over as brash as interviewers will only want to employ people who will fit in well with their workplace dynamic.Be polite and respectful to your interviewer at all times because they are the one in charge of the situation and it is their decision about whether you will be employed or not.Respecting the interviewer can be achieved by maintaining formal language during the process and not resorting to chumminess through words such as 'mate', 'pal' and 'buddy'.
