11 Secrets to Nailing a Big Job Interview

1. First Impressions Make sure you look pristine and get your nails perfect for that first handshake! A Shellac manicure is the best assurance that your nails will be looking perfect.

2. Talk Yourself Up

You are confident, you are a boss girl.

You’ve got this. If you're nervous come up with a little self-confidence mantra to repeat to yourself on your way to the interview.

3. Dress Like a Queen Wear something you’re comfortable in…

This is so important! It is NOT a good look being sat there fidgeting with a skirt that is super smart but doesn't quite fit you right.

4. Be Kind

thoughtfulness

and politeness can go a long way for making a good impression. As I said earlier, it's really essential to treat everyone you come across with kindness and respect. Do it, and likely you’ll be treated the same.

5. ARRIVE EARLY

10 minutes is the right amount of time to get settled, hopefully, they'll offer you a coffee or tea, and you'll have time to compose yourself. But give yourself more than 10 minutes, allow for a little travel lee-way, delayed trains and traffic are not your friends.

6. Let Your Personality Shine Through

Don't try to hide who you are. Be yourself and if they don't like it, well that's a good indicator that you wouldn't have been happy working for them anyway! The interviewing process is just as important for you as it is for the interviewer.

7. Prep Small Talk

So this may seem a little overkill, but I think it's really useful to have some talking points ready for moments where small talk is relevant.

8. Be Honest

No seriously, not even little white lies slightly stretching the truth. Don't lie about being fluent in Spanish when you only know "no, hablo español", nothing is more certain to land you in hot water in the future and make your work life super difficult.

9. Open Body Language

Okay, I know you're nervous and so you want to curl up into a little protective ball, but you need to project confidence even if you aren't really feeling it. Stand or sit up straight, pull your shoulders back, chin up, and centre yourself.

10. It's Not the End of The World

If you're too nervous that's gonna throw you off your game. Relax. Even if it seems like the perfect job it is not the end of the world if you don't get it, other opportunities will come around.

When you first meet them, smile when you shake their hand.

11. Smile! Make sure you try to smile, it is the best way to connect with your interviewer.
