How to Prepare for a Cross-Cultural InterviewWith new technology comes new opportunities to apply to work at companies headquartered around the world. But to land a job in a country different than your own, you need to understand and impress your interviewer. Cultural differences can lead to misunderstandings. A little preparation and consciousness can go a long way. Develop cultural agility: Don’t just stop at researching the company and the hiring manager before an interview. Take it a step further and research the company’s history, values, and the country’s culture. Reading up on nuances can help you learn the best ways to communicate with the hiring manager in order to build a positive rapport, gain trust, and appear credible. Mirror the interviewer: In some cultures, making direct eye contact indicates you’re a confident person who can be trusted. Yet in other cultures, it’s a sign of aggression. To be safe, mirror the eye contact, gesturing, smiling, and posture of the interviewer. Pay attention to the level of small talk your interviewer is comfortable with. If your interviewer begins the interview with “How great is the weather today?” take that as a cue that it’s okay to engage in some small talk. When in doubt, rely on universal norms: While it’s true that some cultures are more relaxed and casual than others, you should still dress professionally, use appropriate titles (until you’re told otherwise), and arrive before the meeting is scheduled. Show genuine curiosity: This suggests that you’re confident and able to overcome obstacles. It also indicates that you’re willing to ask questions to gain the knowledge you’ll need to do the job well.
