Dos and Don?ts during InterviewDOS
? Dress smartly, look bright and attentive, and speak clearly and confidently. Don?t forget that in the first few minutes only 7% of the interviewer?s opinion of you is formed by what you say ? the rest is judged on how you look, act and sound
? find out where the venue is beforehand, how to get there and how long it takes
? get your outfit ready the night before
? find out what kind of interview it will be so you can prepare
? examine the person specification and your CV/application form, and think about what type of questions they will ask you
? Prepare answers for the main questions ? for example, why do you want the job, what are your strengths and weaknesses, what are the main tasks in this job?
? make about three or four points in each answer
? quote real examples of when you?ve used certain skills ? just saying you?ve got a skill isn?t enough
? take your time when answering the questions: make sure you understand the question and take your time if you need to think
? Sell yourself: no one else is going to! Be positive about yourself and your experiences
? Prepare some questions to ask at the end of the interview ? use it as an opportunity to find out more about the role and the company. (Don?t ask about money or perks just yet!)
? when discussing salary, know your market worth and start by quoting a little higher than this
? get feedback on your performance, whether you were successful or not
? turn off your mobile phone: treat the interviewers with respect and give them your undivided attention
? keep your answers focused on what you can do for the employer, not what they can do for you
DON?TS
? don?t be late
? don?t swear or use slang words
? don?t slouch in your seat or do anything that makes you look uninterested
? don?t smoke
? Don?t lie: the interviewer may see through you. Even if you get the job, your employer can dismiss you if they find out that you have not been honest
? Don?t let your nerves show too much; a few nerves are normal but extreme nerves will affect your performance. Use breathing techniques and try to remember that it?s not a life and death situation ? there are plenty of jobs out there!
? Don?t be arrogant and assume you?ve got the job. Nothing turns off employers more than someone who is disrespectful and over-confident
? don?t discuss controversial topics such as religion, politics and gender relations
? don?t read from notes or your CV ? you should be familiar enough with your own history to be able to talk about it unprompted
? Don?t criticize former employers or colleagues. Interviewers may mark you down as a troublemaker and a gossip
? Don?t argue with the interviewer, no matter what. Remember to keep things positive!
