Interviews can be intimidating experiences turning even the best of us into little more than nervous wrecks!
However, follow these tips and you can not fail!
PREPARATION IS KEY
Ensure you know the position you are being interviewed for and that you have a full job description that you have studied. Most Job Descriptions detail what the Recruiter is looking for!!
Research the organisation thoroughly, most organisations have Web Sites and you may also be able to get promotional company literature, brochures etc. Recruiters are always impressed by candidates who have done their research.
If your Recruitment Consultant knows the Interviewer - ask about them and their personality and ask about what you should expect from the interview.
TO PLAN IS TO SUCCEED
Read the job description, look at the duties that you may have completed before and the skills you may have used in previous roles. Being able to provide interviewers with a strong example of how you have performed in a previous role in similar duties strengthens your interview.
Make a list of all the skills and abilities you feel you have that are right for the position concerned.
