Interview technique
If you have been selected for an interview, you are half way there. If an employer deems you suitable enough to take up his / her valuable time, they obviously consider you a real possibility for the role. If you prepare yourself correctly for the interview, your chances of succeeding will be greatly improved.
Simple tips are as follows:
In preparation for your interview make sure you research the company fully including visiting their website and ensure you have a full understanding of the duties and skills required within the role.
Ensure you know where the interview is taking place and give yourself plenty of time to arrive. Make sure you know the name of the person/people who are interviewing you and check if you need to take anything with you.
A first impression counts, always look professional and this will help you feel more relaxed and confident.
During the interview be polite, positive and remember to speak calmly and clearly.
Give clear and succinct answers to the question that has been asked. If you don’t fully understand the question ask for it to be repeated.
Ask questions about the position and the company. Establish what the next stage will be if you are successful.
Shake the interviewers' hand on leaving and thank them for there time. Follow up the interview with a letter telling them you enjoyed the interview and that you are looking forward to hearing from them.
Contact your consultant as soon as possible after your interview to give them feedback.
