Who hasn't been through a case of the pre-interview jitters? |
>> |
Think carefully about your strengths and weaknesses before the interview. Anticipate what kind of questions they are likely to ask you and how to respond. |
>> |
Make sure you are prepared for the interview. Try and find out about the company you are going to. Surfing their web site is a good start so you know more about their activity and what type of positions they have to offer. |
>> |
First impressions are important. Always dress for an interview and make sure you look smart and professional. |
>> |
Ensure you arrive with some time to spare so you are relaxed, calm and can prepare yourself before the interview starts. |
>> |
Always stand when the interviewer enters the room and shake his/her hand firmly. |
>> |
Should you have a block during the interview, take a deep breath, smile and admit you are nervous. |
>> |
During the interview, avoid asking about salary - TM will be pleased to negotiate this and other fringe benefits for you. |
>> |
Don't be afraid to call the interviewer and ask for feedback on how you did in the interview. Whether positive or negative this is very useful for future reference. |
|
And finally... |
Whatever the interview was like, use it as a learning experience - think about how you answered the questions and what improvements you can make….excellent practice for the next time! |
