Key points to take away

• Conduct thorough research before attending an interview. For ideas on where to look, take a look at this article.

• Aim to arrive a little early as being late is never a good start to an interview! Allow extra time for travel delays and if you are going to arrive late, ring ahead to apologise and let your interviewer know.

• Dress to impress in business wear. We also recommend that you check what the colour of your interview outfit says about you.
• Greet your interviewer with a smile and a firm handshake.

• Be ready for the most common interview questions and answer them with confidence! We’ve got a full list and some answer advice here.

• Do not bad mouth your current employer.

• Come with some great questions prepared. Your questions should further highlight your enthusiasm for the role. If you’re unsure of what to ask, we have some suggestions.

Remember, the interviewer is just a normal person that wants to get to know more about you, your ambitions and experience. They’re rooting for you to succeed, so give yourself the best chance of success by putting in some legwork before your interview.

You can’t predict every question you’ll be asked, but if you feel well-prepared then you will be able to tackle every hurdle with confidence. Good luck!
