Planning
• Do your research and find out as much as possible about the company.
• Useful resources are company brochures, annual reports, media information, mission statements, research the internet or asking the company directly.
• Knowledge of what the company does and what its aims are, impresses the interviewer and show your initiative and enthusiasm.
• Ensure you know the exact location of the interview and how long it takes to get there. Do a practice trip if possible. Plan to arrive 10-15 minutes early so that you can relax and prepare.
• First impressions are lasting. Be polite and organised with reception staff. Dress appropriately and at all times look tidy and clean.
• Assess your personal strengths and weaknesses, accomplishments and future goals.
• Think of examples of why you would be an ideal employee. Think of possible questions you would ask if you were interviewing. Prepare great answers and practice answering them aloud in front of a mirror.
• Be confident. If you believe you're the person for the job, convince others.
• Speak from experience as much as you can. What I have done is more effective than what I might do.
• Look forward to the big day and smile!
