How to Prepare and Conduct Yourself
The interview is your opportunity to impress. Good preparation is the key to your success.
The following suggestions will give you the confidence that you have prepared fully for your job interview/s, and are presenting yourself in a positive manner at every opportunity.
Preparation
- Check the time, date and venue of your interview and work out your route to your destination and the anticipated travelling time beforehand
- Memorise the name and correct pronunciation of the person interviewing you to avoid embarrassment
- Read up on the company (size, divisions, latest projects etc) before the meeting to demonstrate your genuine interest in working for them
- Dress appropriately – if unsure ask your consultant for guidance.
- Understand the role you are discussing. A full job spec will be provided and you should endeavour to cross-reference your skills and experience against that.
- Make sure you have some questions prepared for the interview and try to keep one for the end of the interview.
