Reason For Statement

1. Observe the proper dress code.

Answer : DO
The reason :
 Proper dress is very important to do and pay attention to when conducting and
answering job interview questions. White is the safest color of clothes that can be used
for a job interview. The better you look, the more confident you will be. With good self-
confidence, you can make a good impression on the interviewer.
2. Wear bright and loud clothes.
Answer : DON’T
The Reason :
Don't wear bright, loud clothes as this can give an unprofessional impression.
Wearing bright and hard clothes is not recommended and almost never used for interview
clothes.
3. Show what you know about the company.
Answer : DO
The Reason :
This is the most important thing but is often forgotten. Finding out about the
company and the position you are applying for is very important because interviewers
often ask about it. So, it's better if you have prepared this in advance so that when the
question arises you know what to answer. Knowledge of the company you are going to
shows that you are really serious and interested in working.
4. Relax and just be yourself.
Answer : DO
The Reason :
Relax and just be yourself during the interview, because if you nervous it will
make you fail in the interview. Therefore, it’s important for you to have a practice before
you attend the interview so you can be confident after you practice well. The more
nervous you are the more fail you’ll get. Be yourself during the interview and people will
know you, nobody’s perfect but trying to be perfect because we’re human.
5. Give a casual, informal greeting.
Answer : DON’T
The Reason :
Do not give casual and informal greetings during the interview, job interviews
should use formal language, because the interview is a professional situation. So when
 you will apply for a job wherever you apply for a job, make it a habit to use a formal and
good style of language, when the interview session will start and when you meet an
interviewer in a company, wear formal clothes and give a formal greeting when you want
to interview.
6. Say negative things about past employers.
Answer : DON’T
The Reason :
Don't say negative things about previous employers, because when you say
negative things about other people, you don't know how good and how bad we were
during the interview. If you say these things to the interviewer, it will not get you through
the interview, even saying such bad things can ruin your own interview. When talking
negatively about someone, that's where people will judge that you are much worse than
the person you are talking about.
7. Maintain good eye contact.
Answer : DO
The Reason :
You must maintain good eye contact with the interviewer because eye contact is
important during an interview. Eye contact can show how prepared you are and how
confident you are. Ultimately, proper eye contact will help you build trust and show your
interest in the topic and the person. Please don't underestimate the power of first
impressions.
8. Reply with short yes or no answers.
Answer : DON’T
The Reason :
Do not answer with a short yes or no. Since you have to tell the reasons why you
said "yes" and "no", you must have a good attitude during the interview, every question
you get, answer with reasonable reasons. If you only reply briefly like "yes" or "no," it's
likely that you don't want to give them any further information.
