AT THE INTERVIEW

1

DRESS TO IMPRESS

You won’t be expected to arrive at the interview suited and booted, but take pride in how you present yourself. Workwear is fine, but make sure it’s clean and also ensure you have made an effort with your overall appearance. Looking scruffy gives a bad impression of the importance you place on the interview. Keep your hands out of your pockets and remember to smile!

.DON'T PANIC

Take a few deep breaths and take your time when answering questions. The interviewer is not there to catch you out, they just want to get to know you and see if you are a good fit for the company. Answer honestly, rather than trying to second-guess what they want to hear.

3

BE CONFIDENT

Sit up straight and make eye contact with the interviewer rather than looking at the floor. Show them that you are confident in yourself and able to communicate clearly. If you don’t feel confident, pretend that you are! Keep your head held high, you deserve this job just as much as the next person.

REMEMBER TO ASK THOSE QUESTIONS

Don’t forget to ask the questions you thought of before the interview. This will show the interviewer that you are interested in the company. If anything has cropped up during the interview that you would like more details on, don’t be afraid to ask additional questions. This is as much your chance to find out about them as it is theirs to get to know you.
