"Answering interview questions well goes a long way to winning any job. But interviews are by their very nature challenging, and for many people confronting. However there are a number of ways you can effectively prepare for the interview and decrease your anxiety. In this encouraging program, we look at a number of ways you can improve your performance when answering interview questions. We explain how to prepare yourself before the interview, how to anticipate common questions, and how to deal with the more difficult and challenging ones. Speaking with a recruitment specialist, we also investigate the difference between one-on-one and the group interview processes." - Producer's Web site.

Based on the premise that first impressions consist in 93% of how we look, behave, sound and only 7% in what we actually say, this video shows graduates how to make a perfect first impression at job interviews. Four graduates with different challenges are given a ruthless makeover by host Gail Morgan. Through their experience, viewers learn how to practice their entrance and posture, give a firm handshake, become aware of their natural energy level, speak audibly, dress smartly and appropriately, accessorize, think about grooming and make-up, add flattering colours, maintain eye contact and smile! -- Paraphrased from subtitles.
