We thought we'd share a few key tips to help you through those dreaded interviews.
Be prepared - There is no better advice than this. Research the company before the interview. Find out as much as you can about their history, company values, any recent press articles, annual reports and know who the MD or CEO is. There is so much you can find out from the company's website or by searching for articles on Google.
Be punctual - Arrive on time, need I say more?
Look the part - Make sure you dress smart, plain and simple and go easy on the aftershave or perfume.
Questions to expect - There are a few basic interview questions that you should expect. Think about your answers before the interview. Also, make sure you have an example to share for each of the key competencies required on the job spec.
