How Introverts Can Impress in Interviews

As an introvert myself, I found the tips shared by The Undercover Recruiter to be great advice for tackling the interview process.  The blog post shared 5 main points to remember:

  • Take time before you go into an interview to get yourself into the right mental and physical state so you can excel.
  • Think about more than the just the job itself but also the human connections you will need to make.
  • Make eye contact with each person individually as you say hello.
  • It is essential that you communicate the fact you are a thoughtful and engaged individual with achievements and skills to share.
  • If you are uncomfortable talking about yourself and your accomplishments, try framing your achievements in terms of what you learned from completing the experience.
