Prospective employees are trying out these tricks and so-called “trade secrets” and are getting real results. With all the buzz of these new ways to land a job, classic and effective techniques and concepts are being pushed aside.

What a lot of people don’t realize is that sometimes, it’s best to stick to the classics. Keep it simple by practicing these old and slightly forgotten advices for interviewees:

Start the interview right by taking a pleasant aura with you and into the room. Mastering job interview skills start with taking on a positive outlook, which is likely to influence an amiable reaction from the interviewer. By simply smiling and maintaining a friendly demeanor, you’ll be perceived as someone who can work well with others.

First impressions last. No more is this true than in a formal interview. You answer to the first question will determine how the interview will go. The first question asked is likely to be a request: “Tell me about yourself.”

Grab this opportunity to lead the interview towards a more casual conversation wherein you can openly divulge information about your skills, plans, strengths, weaknesses, intentions on joining the company –everything that makes you hirable.

Communicate. The single best advice in any roster of job interview tips is this: practice good communication skills. This means listening intently to questions and comments, taking the time to think of a good response, and articulately expressing honest answers. Whatever career or field you’re planning on getting into, good communication skills are always gold to an interviewer.

Part of this is watching your own body language. Don’t cross your arms or you’ll appear defensive; biting your nails shows weakness. Sitting in a straight posture conveys confidence; consistent and natural eye contact shows interest and friendly intimacy.

Practice sincerity. As the cliché goes: honesty is the best policy –most true in a job interview. Most companies are looking for the classic basic characteristics of a good employee: hardworking and truthful. These values cannot be replaced by any qualifications you possess, and are universally accepted in whatever business or field of work.

Make your mark. Every potential employee, however qualified or right for the job, can sometimes be overshadowed by the dozen other applicants going for the same gig. You need a unique selling point to keep you remembered. Be creative and explore, but take care not to oversell yourself.

For instance, a childhood story about how you got that scar on your left knee shows personality and amiability –if told and timed right, should make you hard to forget. Another good way to do this is to write a job interview thank you letter –keeps your name floating in the hiring department’s heads long after the interview is over, and provides a subtle opportunity for you to remind them why you’re hirable.

Aside from the fact: “you don’t always get what you want”, there are a lot of other similarities. While the interviewer is out for someone who’s right for the job, your date is, well, come to think of it, looking for the same thing. Scoring with both means handling the situation right, so here are x tips to do what you need to do:

Prepare for anything and everything. As soon as you schedule a date or an interview, think of the things you need to get done; if needed, make a list. The key to job interview preparation is being organized. Once you have a list, you can cross-check that list every time you feel anxious about forgetting something. Getting there prepared shows that you’re dependable and responsible.

Get there on time. And if possible, at least 30 to 40 minutes later. Being set to arrive nearly an hour early puts you at an advantageous position: You’re sure not to forget anything since you’re not rushing yourself in preparation, and should you forget anything else, that’s what those 40 minutes are for. Arriving early shows that you’re eager to meet, greet, and settle things –a good show of character.

Speak diligently. In the same way a date won’t be impressed by your non-stop talking about your masters degree, so will an interviewer find it more arrogant and unbecoming of a potential employee.

Job interview answers shouldn’t consist of your lifting your own bench. If you truly are worth hiring (or a second date), then your own credentials should speak for yourself. You don’t have to keep repeating your own greatness, nobody likes that.

Dress appropriately. If you’re reserving your best clothes for the right occasion, now’s the time to break them in. Likewise, if the situation calls for a friendlier, less stiff look, then adapt. A date’s personality is determined by where they schedule the date, so will that determine the appropriate attire.

Likewise, you will know what to wear in an interview, depending on what the company does and how it operates. The best job interview skills will work for nothing if you’re the only one in the room wearing socks and sandals, or if you’re the only suit in the vicinity. Try to know beforehand the necessary info so you’ll know how to dress up.

Don’t be nervous. Just the fact that you’re in a date means you’re already in, you just have to seal the deal. It’s the same way in business, being interviewed means being qualified for the job.

It’s just up to you to convince them to give you the job and seal the deal, so to speak. So don’t be too nervous, it may just be an interview but if you play it right, it’s your ticket in.

You can’t just up and go: the only difference between a date and an interview. While you can leave if your date is a jerk, stinks, makes inappropriate comments, or is just plain boring, you have to finish an interview. Whatever happens, write back a job interview thank you letter to show that you’re a professional.
