You’ve done well – you have secured an interview! Now you feel nervous! We have taken the time to create our top tips on how to have a successful interview!

Tip 1: Do your preparation!

Make sure you look through your CV and take the time to imagine the kind of questions you could be asked in relation to the job role! Take time to prepare some answers to those questions and practice how you might put your views across in the interview. This will help to relax you on the day and reduce your nerves!

These are key tips to follow before you go to the interview too:

  • Have an early night or a quiet night in the evening before
  • Prepare the route and transport you will be using on the day
  • Get your outfit ready
  • Eat a good breakfast so you’re feeling energised and won’t get a rumbling tummy

Tip 2: Research

The research that you do now will reflect on how well your interview goes! We advise that you take a thorough look through the client’s website, familiarise yourself with their products and what it is that the company do. Its likely that you will be able to find more information on the company and person who is conducting the interview by looking at Google and LinkedIn.

Tip 3: Be Confident

Its okay to be nervous! It’s a good thing! Your body and mind are telling you something important is about to happen, you know there could be a lot riding on this meeting, and you want it to go well!  Try and channel your nervousness by remembering that your interviewer may be more nervous than you! No one will mark you down for being nervous in an interview. It even shows a certain amount of respect. You’re more likely to make a poor impression by appearing complacent or superior.

Some of our top calming tips are:

  • Think of a happy memory
  • Press the middle of your hand, this pressure point relaxes the mind and eases anxiety
  • Breathe! Breathe out a negative thought and breathe in a positive thought

Tip 4. Focus on your body language!

Make sure that from the moment you walk through the door you are focused on creating a positive impression, the receptionist you meet may feed back to their superiors any initial impressions!

Remember to:

  • Smile
  • Have eye contact with your interviewer
  • Don’t slouch
  • Have a firm handshake when the interviewer offers their hand

Most of all enjoy the experience – treat every interview as a learning curve!
