Top Ten Interview Tips:
- First impressions last
Dress smartly, arrive on time and smile!
- Do your homework
Make sure you know as much as you can about the company so you have sensible and intelligent questions to ask. Plus, you need to make sure you wish to work for the company.
- Write down and practice possible questions
Writing down and practicing your questions will help you remember what they are and will also make them flow in the conversation.
- Language
Don’t overpower your interviewer with constant comments, it should be a two way conversation and make sure you only use positive statements.
- Talk about Specific Achievements
Your possible future employer is always interested in the things you have achieved throughout your career so far. Make sure you include this information in your interview.
- Body Language
Be aware of your body language. Don’t put up a defensive barrier between your self and the interviewer. Sit up straight and don’t slouch, look alert and interested.
- Be honest
Do not lie about your background or skills. You will get caught out.
- Take all your necessary paperwork
Make sure you take all your necessary paperwork with you to your interview, and another copy of your CV, just in case.
- Be Enthusiastic and Positive
Don’t overdo it and start getting overexcited but make sure the interviewer is aware you are interested. Don’t criticise any previous employers within or without the industry.
- The Final Impression
Smile, thank them for their time and say that you enjoyed discussing the job with them and you look forward to hearing from them soon.
