Always research a

company before you go

to an interview.

Visiting their website

and social media

platforms are great

places to start.

You should know who

they are, what they do

and who their audience

is.

Practice answering

some interview

questions with a friend

or into a mirror.

This will make you

aware of your body

language, ensure you

can articulate your

answers and help build

confidence.

If you are attending

any interview, make

sure you are

respectful to all the

employees you

interact with,

including reception.

You would be

surprised how many

people ask front desk

what they thought of

you.

First impressions

count!

Always be presentable

and well groomed for

an interview.

Turn your phone OFF

or on aeroplane mode

(not silent) during an

interview.

You would be

surprised how many

people forget to do

this.

You may have applied

and even turned up to

the interview, but no

one is a mind reader.

If you want the job,

say so.

When explaining why

you left a job or

describing a past

failure, try to keep

your answers positive.

Emphasise the silver

lining of bad situations

and never speak badly

of a past employer.

Come to all interviews

with examples of your

strengths and

weaknesses.

To answer that

infamous weakness

questions, make sure

you counteract your

weakness with how

you manage it.

If you claim to have

management,

leadership or even

creative skills, you

will need to be able

to back these up with

specific examples.

Sit up straight with an

open and relaxed

posture.

Where possible, make

eye contact with

everybody on the

interview panel.

People need to know

if you fit the company

and culture.

Although you need to

remain professional,

it’s ok to be yourself

too.

Make sure YOU have

some questions to

ask in an interview.

This shows you are

prepared, interested

and care about the

role being the best

fit for you.

You may have applied

and even turned up to

the interview, but no

one is a mind reader.

If you want the job,

say so.

Asking the interviewer

if they have any

reservations gives

both parties the

chance to address

potential concerns

they may have then

and there.
