INTERVIEW - WHAT TO DO
- Dress smartly, look bright and attentive, and speak clearly and confidently. Don't forget that only 7% of the interviewer's opinion of you is formed by what you say - the rest is judged on how you look, act and sound.
- Find out where the venue is beforehand, how to get there and how long it takes.
- Get your outfit ready the night before.
- Find out what kind of interview it will be so you can prepare.
- Examine the person specification and your CV / application form, and think about what type of questions they will ask you.
- Prepare answers for the main questions - for example, why do you want the job, what are your strengths and weaknesses, what are the main tasks in this job.
- Make about three or four points in each answer.
- Quote real examples of when you've used certain skills - just saying you've got a skill isn't enough.
- Take your time when answering the questions. Make sure you understand the question and take your time if you need to think.
- Sell yourself. No-one else is going to! Be positive about yourself and your experiences.
- Prepare some questions to ask at the end - use it as an opportunity to find out more about the role and the company. But don't ask about money or perks just yet!
- Turn off your mobile phone! Treat the interviewer (s) with respect and give them your undivided attention.
- Keep your answers focused on what you can do for the employer, not what they can do for you.
- Remember to follow up a few days after the interview, it shows enthusiasm and excitement for the job you are applying for.
