Interview Techniques
You never get a 2nd chance to make a first impression! Have a look at
our top 10 interview tips..
-
Arrive ten minutes before your interview.
-
Know the names and positions of the people you are meeting
-
Good grooming is essential and its importance cannot be overlooked.
-
Too much make-up, aftershave, etc. can be off-putting
-
Wear appropriate attire which should be well pressed
-
Shoes are often overlooked by candidates but play an important role in your overall appearance.
-
Eat before your interview as you will rely on this to help you think better.
-
Don’t say anything negative about present or previous employers.
-
Don’t interrupt anyone.
-
Keep answers short and to the point. Remember the interviewer has a list of questions to ask and cannot assess you fully unless all questions have been answered.
Remember 85% of the verbal content of the interview will be forgotten
within an hour of the candidate's departure. What remains is the overall
impression, documents submitted, and a few notes.
