Presentation for employment

Presentation for employment, interviewing skills, self-presentation (linguistic codes, dress codes, interpersonal skills

there are two main types of presentation, self and linguistic

When you enter an interview don’t slouch, have a firm handshake, if its to firm then the employer might think your over confident, don’t do a wimpy handshake either.

You could do some research before hand on the company, and show that you know in the interview this will show the employer that you are very interested in their company, remember to ask questions during the interview as this will help them think your interested in the company. When talking don’t speak really fast or very laud as you will come across as either very nervous or over confident, neither are good. You should speak on the same level as them; you should be enthusiastic in the way you speak.  

When you go for job or something similar you always need to think about how you present yourself, your self-presentation is what people see if you before talking to you, making the right first impression is crucial. Depending on what job your going for you should chose a suitable outfit, if you turn up to a job interview for office job or something similar with dirty jeans And ripped shirt then you would automatically be out of the running for the job, this is before you have even spoken.

When talking in the interview make sure you have eye contact with the person who is interviewing you, don’t look at the ground and fiddle with your phone, the employer will probably be looking at your communication skills, fiddling and mumbling is not going to show very good communication and body language.

Whereas if you were going for a running job then you wouldn't have to be extremely smart, you could wear relatively smart clothing as the employer wouldn't really be looking at how dress as being a main issue.

Presenting you’re self isn’t just about how you look it about how you talk. If someone applied to job for a radio presenter then they would need to be very clear in the speech, although they would probably have given the employer a show reel demonstrating their voice.
