How to get that job
Before the interview
• Find out as much as you can about the company
• Think about questions which the interviewer might ask you.
Plan how to answer them.
• Dress smartly.
• Don’t be late. If you are very early, have a coffee in a local
café and look at your notes.
• Switch off your mobile and take two or three slow, deep
breaths before you go in.
During the interview
• When you walk in, shake hands firmly with the interviewer,
look them in the eyes, and say ‘Pleased to meet you’.
• Answer the questions in a confident, firm voice. Don’t speak
too quietly, too quickly or too hesitant.
• Answers should be one word or one sentence, but also should
not be too long.
• When answering questions, maintain eye contact with the interviewer.
If there is more than one interviewer, give them
equal attention.
• Give clear, direct answers to questions. If you don’t know
something, say so.
• Don’t lie.
• At the end of the interview, you might be asked, ‘Are there
any questions that you would like to ask us?’ — make sure
you have one or two good questions ready.
• Above all, be positive and show enthusiasm for the job.
After the interview
• If you didn’t answer a question well in the interview, don’t be
afraid to phone up soon afterwards and say something like,
‘I don’t think I explained myself very well in the interview.
What I wanted to say was...’ This will show enthusiasm and it
will remind them of you.
