Job Interview
The interviewer expects to see that you have carried out some research and preparation before the interview.
Recall what you know about the company and decide which aspects of your experience to stress.
The interview is still the most common method by which decisions on job offers are taken.
It is sometimes backed up by other recruitment methods, for example, psychometric tests and assessments.
Don't expect experience and qualifications alone to get you the position. Personality is at least as important. Your job is to sell yourself to the interviewer.
Most interviews tend to follow a basic pattern:
asking you questions to find out your ability and suitability for the job
telling you about the post and the company
giving you the opportunity to ask questions
telling you what will happen next
Impressions
The importance of making the right first impression cannot be overstated. An interviewer's opinion of you begins to be formed when you open the door. Be punctual.
5 minutes early is good practice. Good presentation is vital. An untidy appearance will mark you down in the eyes of the interviewer. Ensure that your appearance is clean and tidy.
Look rather than stare at the interviewer and avoid gazing round the room.
Last impressions are as important as first impressions and the way you leave may be the way that you are remembered.
Be Concise and Positive
Attitude is very important - even if you are uncertain about attending the interview, go into it with a positive attitude. Remember, the interviewer is looking for someone who genuinely wants the job.
Speak clearly, concisely and keep to the point. Try and save a good question for the end of the interview.
Money Matters
Generally speaking, do not discuss salaries and benefits until the second or later stage, unless the interviewer raises the subject.
It is usually wise not to begin this topic at all until you have an offer.
The same principle applies to working hours and benefits - these matters can be dealt with in detail later.
Feedback
After the interview, if arranged through a recruitment agent, contact them for a full briefing and feedback in order to understand how you performed, and to know whether you are to be offered the position you want, or need to amend your interview technique in some way.
