Interviews - the dreaded part of the recruitment process that some people are great at, others seem to fail every time, even when they have real talent. I am going to cover each of these over the coming weeks, but here are my golden rules to ensure a strong performance at interview.
Prepare thoroughly
Arrive in plenty of time
Dress properly
Make a strong first impression
Find out how long your meeting will last
Answer the question, and use examples and figures at every opportunity
Do not lie, but do sell yourself. False Modesty has no place
Concentrate on what you can do for them, not what they can do for you
Find out if they are right for you.
Ask at least two questions at the end
Clarify the next stage of the process
Send a thank you letter Above all, once you enter that room, forget technique and interview practice. Be you, a confident, assertive you perhaps, but stand up for what you believe in and convey it with conviction. If you are the right person for the job, you will shine through. And here are two things (loosely connected with your mouth)
Do not bad mouth previous employers or managers
Make sure you don't smell, and nor does your breath Good luck.
