The most taboo things about job interviews in Canada (must read for international students)

International students need to consider employment after graduation in Canada, so what are the most taboo things to do when looking for a job?  

Canadian employment interview taboo one: avoid stage fright  　

You may be in the top three of your grade, or your comprehensive assessment may have earned you a place in Beijing, but if you are not confident in yourself, it will affect your performance in the interview. Therefore, before the interview, you may want to try the following tips.  　

The day before the interview, rehearse with a friend and prepare answers to frequently mentioned questions for your friend to suggest.  　

An hour before the interview, go through your resume, especially the awards you have received, etc.  　

Half an hour before the interview, take a deep breath and remind yourself that you have overcome the biggest hurdles in the past and will go through more interviews in the future.  　

Five minutes before the interview, try to recite the 300 poems of the Tang Dynasty, or Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, to relax your emotions in order to engage in a tense battle.  　

Canadian job interview taboo two: avoid being the same as the crowd  　

"Can you introduce yourself?" is a common question asked during interviews. Remember not to retell your resume. You can even tell a story about yourself, so that the other party can understand your character and temperament. During the interview, pay attention to your voice and speed of speech. To please the examiner, you can imitate their speed of speech.  　

Canadian employment interview taboo 3: Avoid "straight talk"  　

If you can't wait to answer every time the examiner finishes a question, you will look unsteady. Of course, if you have to think about every question, you will seem overly cautious and timid. The right approach is to answer most questions as soon as they are asked, thinking about how to wrap things up as you go along. For other more difficult or unexpected questions, you can take the following responses.  　

Put the question asked by the other person in a declarative tone yourself. For example, if the person asks, 'Do you sometimes find it difficult to work with others? ' You can answer this way: "I have never heard anyone say that it is difficult to work with me in various social activities and group projects at school. If I do, I think it's because sometimes I get too involved in the activities I'm interested in."  　

Confirm the other person's question, "Are you referring to ......?"  　

Canadian employment interview taboo #4: Avoid ignoring the rules  　

Interviews are highly programmed activities that have their own rules of the game. For example: dress appropriately; first impressions are crucial; body language should be just right; don't keep staring at the examiner; write a thank you note or ask about the offer after the interview to show that you value the job. Ignore the rules and you will lose the game.
