Rules to follow


In order to be persuasive, a client must be directed to select and provide the most relevant
information on his/her education, abilities, accomplishments, experience. Approximately
60% of the questions during a recruitment interview refer to these aspects. In general,
inexperienced clients find it difficult to present themselves on a positive note, their
accomplishments, successes, and failures. This is why it is recommended to organize
simple exercises so that clients are in the position to fluently and coherently present their
own achievements, abilities, experience. Fluency in discourse shows intelligence,
aptitudes for inter-human relations, management skills.


There are several aspects that must be taken into consideration the moment a client
prepares for an interview. These are:


The personal file, including all the documents already sent to the company, must
be brought along in copy when candidates show up for the interview. Candidates
must be prepared to elaborate on any aspect in their CV or other documents
presented to the employer.
Psychological aspects related to self-image and the degree of self-confidence. It
is recommendable that a positive strategy is adopted – clients should arm
themselves with optimism and the conviction that there are sufficient reasons to
consider that the interview will go well. The personal file has been accepted and
an interview has been granted, therefore a premise for success already exists.
Clothing is related to the image a client presents to the others. In professional
business environment, clothes very much make the man. In case of a formal
interview it is compulsory to wear a dark suit, quality shoes, and accessories
