Key Takeaways
1. Do Your Homework
Look beyond the company website and really find out as much as you can about the company. Reeling off a few facts that you found on their ‘About Us’ page isn’t going to impress anyone.
2. Present Yourself Well
Make a great first impression by dressing the part, giving a strong handshake, a genuine smile and by making eye contact. You’ve got to get your personality across so pump yourself with confidence and try to relax into the interview.
3. Done Your Research? Prove it!
A memorable interviewee doesn’t wait to be asked what they know about the company – this question may not even come up! You’ve got to work in the things you know and relate the company values and ethos back to you.
You’ve also got prove that you have the skills and experience listed on the job description, leave them with no doubt that you are the right person for the job! Don’t just tell the interviewer about your skills, back them up with evidence and key examples. Think of yourself as a great communicator? Well, you should be showing that off right there and then!
4. Ask Questions
Some well-chosen questions can further show off your enthusiasm for the company and your interest in the role and industry.
5. Say Thank-You
If you weren’t already memorable enough, saying thank-you after your interview will definitely make you stick in the interviewer’s mind!
Following out tips for interview will help you to put your best foot forward. Now it’s over to you…Good luck!
