Most of us find interviews pretty nerve racking but the key to feeling calm and collected on the big day is to prepare well in advance. Before the interview it’s important you fully research the company and the role you’re applying for, this will help you come up with questions to ask on the day and also to make sure the job is right for you.
Try and find out what type of interview it might be so you’re not thrown on the day – expecting an informal chat with HR is completely different to having a formal interview by a group of senior management. Will there be a test? Is it a competency based interview? Will there be role-play?
Do you need to prepare a presentation or take a work portfolio?
Have they asked you specific questions or mentioned certain topics in advance that they might be discussing with you during the interview?
We’ve put together a 6 point plan to help you get prepared so you can walk into that interview feeling confident.
