Hi, my name is Paula Cardenas. Welcome to watchmojo.com. I will be talking to you today about how to prepare for your job interview. First, I will walk you through the visual aspects, then I will talk to you on how to prepare before during and how to follow up after the interview. So you have been invited for an interview, which is a really good thing, and which means that they have been impressed with your CV and now they are curious on what you actually have to say. As you know our first impressions are very important. It is the way people form an opinion on yourself and a research actually shows that whether your interview lasts 30 minutes or more, people will make an opinion on yourself within the first four minutes and this is done in the following way. 55% is actually on your visual impact, which is your facial expressions, your body language and the way you carry yourself. 38% is actually on the tone of voice and 7% is actually on what you have to say.
