Interview Tips

 

      Do

 

      1.    Prepare yourself / Good preparation equals confidence.

      2.    Create a list of things that you need to do before your interview:

• Confirm Day, Time and Location
• Do a little bit of research about their Company
• Write down list of possible questions and answers
• Have ready any additional documentation required before your interview
• Be on time
• Keep positive, friendly, polite and confident
• Remember you only get one chance to prove yourself
• Listen carefully to the questions being asked
• Answer questions briefly
• Sell yourself
• Be honest / Lying will not get you any closer to getting the job

      3.    Seek feedback on your performance and keep doors open if unsuccessful.

 

 

 

                                                                              

 

 

   Don't

       

    1.  Arrive unprepared at the interview.

    2.  Act too laid back and personal, although the odd bit of humour always helps.  

    3.  Waffle, wander or focus on your needs at the expense of the company's.

    4.  Appear too cocky, undersell yourself, talk too quickly or mumble.

    5.  Look unmotivated and bored.

    6.  Undersell yourself by not providing back-up information.

    7.  Forget to ask some positive questions yourself - it's a two-way process.

    8.  Take rejection personnaly and end on a sour note.
