SOME TIPS FOR YOUR INTERVIEW
Please accept the following points as just a guide. Interviews are always varied, do not necessarily follow a set pattern and cannot therefore be easily categorised. However, our experience of successful interviews, along with feedback from our clients, indicates that your chances of success will be enhanced if you bear in mind the following points:
Prepare yourself with as much information on the company and the position as possible. Increasingly, corporate websites provide full relevant information that can be quickly and easily accessed.
Arrive in good time. Apart from good manners, this will give you the opportunity to read some information on the company in the reception area and gather your thoughts. It is natural to perhaps feel nervous before the interview commences; remember that all other applicants will be in the same situation as you - don't worry. If you are going to be late, telephone ahead and warn the company or us.
Dress appropriately for the interview. Rightly or wrongly, all kinds of opinions are formed and assumptions made on the appearance people present - usually with immediate effect.
The first few minutes are vital when you meet the interviewer. The first impression can be the one that lasts. Greet the interviewer with a smile and a strong handshake. From reception to the office, talk and relax, relieving the interviewer of the onus of starting the conversation.
During the interview do not avoid eye contact with the interviewer. Look and act alert and interested. It is important to avoid one word answers (especially NO), always aim to provide as much relevant information about you and your experience as possible.
An interview is a sales situation. You are selling yourself; therefore it is important that you find out what the interviewer is looking for. Don't forget, however, that it is also a sales situation for the company - your opportunity to get the information you want from them.
Ask questions and show a real interest in the position and the company, perhaps based on the information you previously received about them. Aim for questions that indicate an interest in their line of work or products and your enthusiasm and interest in the role itself, rather than holiday entitlement, pensions etc.
Keep your answers brief but not always abrupt. Avoid waffling and listen carefully to the interviewer's questions so that you can provide the answers they are looking for. Don't be afraid to ask questions - the interview should be a two way process.
As the interview draws to a close, if you are interested in the position, it is important that you let the interviewer know you are keen. Ensure that you are clear on what the next step in the interview procedure is by finding out when you will know the result.
Please call us within 30 minutes of coming out of the interview. We will call you back if necessary. This is important so that we can get immediate feedback from the client and then contact you with their thoughts.
