Quick tip list on job interviews

A job interview can be a an exciting or a daunting experience especially right before the interview when the nerves for me tend to set in, during an interview however I’m quite confident and calm and I feel this is all down to preparation and researching the role and company before hand as much as you can so that your talking the same tune and can understand what would be required of you when within the job role. I feel that if the interviewer can picture you working in the job role and doing it well then your in with a much higher chance of getting the job.

dress code and professionalism can also decide fates of interview success, you can ring up and ask what dress code is for the interview with the company. Normally it will be smart professional suited and booted unless its an informal interview and you are advised differently. Make sure your hair is neat looking and you don’t over dress and end up looking like your going to a fancy dress party as sherlock holmes .

A list of interview tips

  • Be confident
  • Do your research on the business
  • Dress code
  • Be Hydrated - drink water
  • Double check you know the address
  • Be 15 minutes early
  • Know your history CV
  • Bring across your qualities
  • don’t be shy about weaknesses but put a positive spin on them
  • keep good eye contact
  • use positive body language
  • Use specific examples when asked questions about your previous roles
Just to expand on a few of those points, being confident will set you above the rest as it will bring across to the interviewer that you know what your talking about and are a competent individual. Water helps carry oxygen to your brain and will keep you from having pause moments of feeling over pressured or stressed most interviews I have been to I get offered a glass of water but I do recommend you take your own bottle of water in case. Good Luck :)
