Confidence is a big one. When a candidate walks into an interview room with their head held high, believing in themselves and their abilities, it's very attractive. For example, if they can make eye contact, speak clearly and firmly, it gives off a sexy vibe.
I once heard about a job interview where the applicant wore a very unique and stylish outfit that made them stand out. They had prepared thoroughly and during the interview, they told interesting anecdotes related to their work experience in a very engaging way. Their confidence was really sexy in that situation. It made the interviewers remember them and they ended up getting the job.
A friend of mine went to an interview and accidentally sat in the wrong chair at the start. Everyone had a good laugh, and it actually broke the ice. He ended up getting the job too.
There was this woman who had an interview for a teaching job. She was asked to teach a short lesson as part of the interview. One of the students in the mock class was really difficult to handle, but she managed to engage him and get him interested in the lesson. The school principal was watching and was so impressed with her ability to handle different types of students that she got the job on the spot.
One of the most unusual job interview experiences I've heard was when a candidate was asked to solve a complex problem on the spot. He had to think quickly and use his knowledge in a very practical way. It was nerve - wracking but also a great opportunity to show his skills.
I had a first - time job interview where I was really nervous. I fumbled with my words a bit at the start. But then I took a deep breath and just started talking about my skills and experiences more clearly. It went okay in the end.
A man interviewing for a graphic design job brought his own laptop with a portfolio of his work. But during the interview, the laptop crashed. Instead of panicking, he quickly sketched some of his best designs on a piece of paper right there. The interviewers were amazed by his ability to think on his feet and still showcase his talent, and he got the job.
One horror story could be showing up to the interview and the interviewer being extremely rude and dismissive from the start. They might not even let the interviewee finish answering questions. Another could be the interview location being a complete mess or in a very noisy and distracting environment, making it hard to focus on the interview.
Well, for some girls, their first job interview can be a nerve - wracking experience. One girl I know was so nervous that she accidentally spilled her water all over the table when she reached for her resume. But she quickly composed herself and managed to answer the questions well. The key for her was to be honest about her skills and experiences, and show her enthusiasm for the job.
