Interview So, you’ve applied for your dream apprenticeship or traineeship and have just found out you’ve been lucky enough to make it to an interview. Congratulations! Here are a few tips on the next slide to help you prepare for your all important first meeting with the company and settle any nerves you may have.
Come Prepared
Do your research on the company, the industry and the apprenticeship/traineeship you have applied for. Learn as much as you can about what the company does as their core business. • • • •
What do they make or sell? What industry do they operate within? Where is the business located? What kind of duties do you expect to be undertaking within the company?
Dress Appropriately
•
Start planning what you’re going to wear at least two days before your scheduled interview. This will give you enough time to get something appropriate in case your chosen outfit does not go to plan.
•
Have your final outfit ready and out the night before and take care of any last minute ironing of clothing or cleaning of shoes if required.
Greet The Interviewers With their first names if you remember them and introduce yourself. Remember to offer a friendly smile and shake their hand.
Body Language Maintain eye contact with your interviewer as much as possible, sit up straight and present a positive, confident attitude when you answer questions. Remember your mannerisms can say more than your words do.
Answer your questions honestly When answering questions, take a moment to think about the question and how best to respond. There’s no rush. If you’re unsure what the question means, ask the interviewer to clarify. The interviewer will be happy to help you out. Make sure your answers are straight to the point and address the question asked.
Sell yourself and always try to turn the question to your advantage
Tell the interviewer of your skills, interests and past experiences as relevant to the position. Reinforce why you want the position. Do not lie - the interviewer will find out one way or another if you do. Just remember not to be over confident or show too much attitude in answering questions.
