Preparation:

Your preparation for an interview is a critical part of the process.

• Research the company – look the website, social networking pages. Familiarise yourself with products and services.
• Refresh your memory regarding important dates and achievements of your own employment history.
• Your interview may include behavioural interview questions. You can research behavioural questions and the “STAR” approach to answering them on the internet.

First impressions are important

• Do a final check of your attire and appearance before the interview
• Turn off mobile phones
• Arrive 5 or 10 minutes early

During the interview:

• Be courteous and polite to everyone you meet during the process.
• Express yourself clearly and confidently, maintain eye contact.
• Sit comfortably, but be attentive throughout the interview.
• Answer all questions honestly; do not over embellish your experience, qualifications, or skills.
