In your job search, whether for an internship, co-op position or other during-college experience, and for
a job after graduation, be a person of integrity and honesty, conduct yourself with high standards, and
take responsibility for your own behavior.

If you lack integrity and honesty, you damage yourself, and you damage your reputation, and you may
do damage to others.

Do keep commitments you make.

That means showing up when you say you will and doing what you say you will and taking responsibility
for your own behaviors and choices.

Do respect the time and resources of others.

No-showing for any appointment is discourteous and disrespectul of the time and resources of others.

No showing for an interview is extremely inappropriate and has serious consequences: Cancellation and
Missed Interview Policy

Do be honest.

If you are not honest in the job search, your employer will have reason to retract an offer and/or release
you from employment.

Being honest does not mean that you have to reveal personal information that is not relevant to a job
search. It does mean you must be a person of honesty and integrity regarding matters relevant to the
job search.
Being dishonest often has greater negative consequences than revealing the information about which
you were originally dishonest.

If you are hired pretending to be something you're not, you are deceiving yourself and others, and you
won't be happy on the job, and your employer won't be happy with you.

Be careful about something as seemingly simple as rounding up your GPA. If you have a 2.99, and you
report it as a 3.0, this is and can be construed as a lie.

Standards of professional conduct apply to all aspects of the search: your documents, all your
communication and interactions with employers, including in person, in writing and verbal, including
your online presence.

7 Things You Should Never Do During An Interview

With the job market extremely tight, even the small stuff counts, especially when you're on a job
interview.

Body language, non-verbals

Career Services > Job & internship search guide > Interviewing > Body landguage, non-verbals

Body language speaks volumes. In addition to attire and dining etiquette and handshakes, which are
extremely important in the job search, your body language and other non-verbal cues communicate
your thoughts, friendliness, level of confidence and much more.

Consider your non-verbals when interacting with others AND when others can observe you even if you
are not directly interacting.

Words are the tip of the iceberg.

Words are the tip of the iceberg.

There is discussion on the widespread misuse and misinterpretation of research about percentages of
meaning attributed to various aspects of communication; our purpose here is not to perpetuate myths!

We do want you, as a job-seeking student, to be aware of and practice good, professional habits in your
non-verbal communication in your job search and ANY time someone may be forming an opinion about
you.

Examples of situations when non-verbals matter:

At a career fair, as you move about, wait and speak with others.

As a student or audience member listening to a speaker (who might be an employer or a contact for
one). Yes, speakers notice the demeanor of classroom/audience members.

Talking with a speaker after a presentation.

Before, during and after an interview.

Any other chance or planned meeting you have with a potential employer.

Any interaction with a person who might refer you to an employer.

Non-verbal communication to have under your control:

Posture, while standing, seated and walking.

Facial expression.

Eye contact.

Movement of your arms and hands.

Maintaining personal space; distance between self and others.

Some very obvious DON'Ts:

Fidget, touch your face, play with your hair, adjust your clothing, scratch, bite your nails (disgusting!).

6 Tips For Job Seekers On Body Language

Body language speaks volumes at a job interview. Everything from your handshake, eye contact, and
how you move your extremities when you talk, to your posture when sitting can reveal a lot about you
to the hiring manager sitting across from you.

Related: 3 Areas Job Seekers Make The Biggest Mistakes

If you want to make the right impression, be aware of your own body.

1. Eye Contact.

Eye contact can help you build a personal connection with the interviewer. It is especially important at
the time of the handshake and when the interviewer is speaking or asking a question. By giving eye
contact, it communicates that you are confident, listening, and engaged. However, there has to be a
balance with breaks in between eye contact. If you stare too long, it can come across as being overly
aggressive and you may begin to look crazy and creepy.

2. Handshake.

The handshake is a professional point of contact, so how you do it sends a very important message. To
come off as confident, you want to be firm, but not overpowering. And on the other end, if your
handshake is limp like a dead fish, the interviewer may sense you lack confidence and interest. Women
tend to overcompensate and shake hands too firmly so practice on you family members as this is where
you make a first impression.

3. Expression.

No matter what you say, if your expression does not match the message, it will not come across. For
example, at the time of the first handshake at the job interview, exhibit a smile when you say, Its nice
to meet you. When you are talking about one of the most exciting projects you were involved in, your
expression should match that, otherwise youre giving the hiring manager a mixed message.

4. Posture.

The way you sit can impact how others want to communicate with you. If you are leaning back all
relaxed, you may leave the hiring manager thinking youre lazy and not serious about the meeting. If you
lean too forward and invade their space, it can come off as too aggressive. What you want is a neutral
position sit straight up on the chair with a slight lean forward to express youre interested and
engaged. You also dont want to be stiff in posture. Its unnatural and can make it hard for others to
communicate with you comfortably. A good technique is to slightly mirror the interviewers posture.

5. Arms.

Many security guards have their arms across their chest. It signals that they are in defense mode. This is
the same message thats sent to the hiring manager when they see a job candidate with arms across
their chest. You want to be viewed as approachable, so its best to leave your hands to your sides when
standing or on your lap/knees when sitting.

6. Excessive Nodding Or Shaking.

Yes, you want to communicate agreement and understanding, but excessive nodding of the head can be
seen as being overly agreeable, and you end up looking like a bobble head. One or two nods tagged with
a smile is all you need. Along the same lines, be watchful of your extremities like leg kicking (often a
result of nerves) or flaring arms as you talk. Maintain self-control of your extremities, keeping your feet
flat on the ground and using your hands only when trying to make a gesture.

To better prepare for the next job interview, consider doing a video recording of a mock interview. Youll
see habits in your body language that you can practice to correct before the next real job interview!

That's why it's so important not to say or do the wrong things, since that first impression could end up
being the last one.
With that in mind, here are seven deadly sins of job interviewing.

1. Don't Be Late To the Interview

Even if you car broke down or the subway derailed, do everything you can to get to that job interview on
time.

"If you have a legitimate excuse it's still hard to bounce back," says Pamela Skillings, co-founder of job
coaching firm Skillful Communications. "People are suspicious because they hear the same excuses all
the time."

On the flip side, you don't want to show up too early and risk appearing desperate, but you do want to
be there at least five minutes early or at the very least on time.

2. Don't Show Up Unprepared

It seems simple, but countless people go on job interviews knowing very little about the company they
are interviewing with when all it would take is a simple Google search to find out. As a result, they end
up asking obvious questions, which signal to the interviewer that they are too lazy to prepare.

"Don't ask if the company is public or private, how long it's been in business and where they do their
manufacturing," says Mark Jaffe, president of Wyatt & Jaffe, the executive search firm. "Sharpen your
pencil before you go to school."

3. Don't Ask About Salary, Benefits, Perks

Your initial interview with a company shouldn't be about what the company can do for you, but what
you can do for the company. Which means the interview isn't the time to ask about the severance
package, vacation time or health plan. Instead you should be selling yourself as to why the company
can't live without you.
"Your interest should be about the job and what your responsibilities will be," says Terry Pile, Principal
Consultant of Career Advisors. "Asking about vacation, sick leave, 401K, salary and benefits should be
avoided at all costs."

4. Don't Focus On Future Roles Instead Of The Job At Hand

The job interview is not the time or place to ask about advancement opportunities or how to become
the CEO. You need to be interested in the job you are actually interviewing for. Sure, a company wants
to see that you are ambitious, but they also want assurances you are committed to the job you're being
hired for.

"You can't come with an agenda that this job is just a stepping stone to bigger and better things," says
Jaffe.

5. Don't Turn The Weakness Question Into A Positive

To put it bluntly, interviewers are not idiots. So when they ask you about a weakness and you say you
work too hard or you are too much of a perfectionist, chances are they are more apt to roll their eyes
than be blown away. Instead, be honest and come up with a weakness that can be improved on and
won't ruin your chances of getting a job.

For instance, if you are interviewing for a project management position, it wouldn't be wise to say you
have poor organizational skills, but it's ok to say you want to learn more shortcuts in Excel. "Talk about
the skills you don't have that will add value, but aren't required for the job," says Pile.

6. Don't Lie

Many people think its ok to exaggerate their experience or fib about a firing on a job interview, but lying
can be a surefire way not to get hired. Even if you get through the interview process with your half
truths, chances are you won't be equipped to handle the job you were hired to do. Not to mention the
more you lie the more likely you are to slip up.

"Don't exaggerate, don't make things bigger than they are and don't claim credit for accomplishments
you didn't do," says Jaffe. "You leave so much room in your brain if you don't have to fill it with which lie
you told which person."
7. Don't Ask If There's Any Reason You Shouldn't Be Hired

Well meaning career experts will tell you to close your interview by asking if there is any reason you
wouldn't be hired. While that question can give you an idea of where you stand and afford you the
opportunity to address any concerns, there's no guarantee the interviewer is going to be truthful with
you or has even processed your information enough to even think about that.

"All you are doing is prompting them to think about what's wrong with you," says Skillings.

Classroom management tips on writing effective progress reports.

1. Interview Questions for Teachers: Tell us about yourself.

This will be among the first common teacher interview questions at almost every in-person. Just give a
brief background in about three sentences. Tell them what colleges you graduated from, what you're
certified to teach, what your teaching & working experiences are, and why you'd love the job.

2. How do you teach to the state standards?

If you interview in the United States, school administrators love to talk about state, local, or national
standards! Reassure your interviewer that everything you do ties into standards. Be sure the lesson
plans in your portfolio have the state standards typed right on them. When they ask about them, pull
out your lesson and show them the close ties between your teaching and the standards.

3. How will you prepare students for standardized assessments?

There are standardized assessments at almost every grade level. Be sure you know the names of the
tests. Talk about your experiences preparing students. You'll get bonus points if you know and describe
the format of the test because that will prove your familiarity.

4. Describe your discipline philosophy.

You use lots of positive reinforcement. You are firm, but you don't yell. You have appropriate
consequences for inappropriate behavior. You have your classroom rules posted clearly on the walls.
You set common routines that students follow. You adhere to the school's discipline guidelines. Also,
emphasize that you suspect discipline problems will be minimal because your lessons are very
interesting and engaging to students. Don't tell the interviewer that you send kids to the principal's
office whenever there is a problem. You should be able to handle most discipline problems on your
own. Only students who have committed very serious behavior problems should be sent to the office.

5. How do you make sure you meet the needs of a student with an IEP?

An IEP is an "individualized education plan." Students with special needs will be given an IEP, or a list of
things that you must do when teaching the child. An IEP might include anything from "additional time
for testing" to "needs all test questions read aloud" to "needs to use braille textbook." How do you
ensure you're meeting the needs of a student with an IEP? First, read the IEP carefully. If you have
questions, consult a special education teacher, counselor, or other staff member who can help you.
Then, you just make sure you follow the requirements on the IEP word for word. When necessary, you
may be asked to attend a meeting in which you can make suggestions for updating the IEP. Your goal,
and the goal of the IEP, is to make sure the student has whatever he or she needs to be successful in
your class.

6. How do you communicate with parents?

This question will come up at almost every elementary school interview. Its fairly common in the middle
school and high school as well. You might have a weekly parent newsletter that you send home each
week. For grades 3 and up, you may require students to have an assignment book that has to be signed
each night. This way, parents know what assignments are given and when projects are due. When there
are discipline problems you call home and talk to parents. It's important to have an open-door policy
and invite parents to share their concerns at any time.
