1. Don’t arrive too early:
You
may have long been under the impression that it’s important to arrive
well ahead of your interview, but experts say this can actually hinder
your chances of success. While you don’t want to be late, arriving too
early can catch your interviewer off guard. Aim to arrive ten minutes
before the interview is due to start, giving you time to settle in.
2. Work out before your interview:
On
the morning of your interview, eat a healthy breakfast and don’t
consume too much caffeine. You can combat nerves by exercising – if you
have time, of course – as this creates feelings of wellbeing.
3. Wear something memorable:
Whether it’s a funky scarf or a statement necklace, wearing something memorable can help you make a great impression on the interviewer (just don’t be too garish!).
4. Don’t act like a stranger:
Make
it look like you already work there; leave your coat, umbrella and a
bulky bag in reception. Just take a slim folder into the interview room
containing the documents you need so you already look like an employee
rather than a visitor.
5. Think of something personal to ask at the end:
Don’t
just focus on what’s in it for you, a question like ‘what’s your
favourite thing about working here?’ can get the interviewer thinking
and paint you in a positive light.
Happy job hunting!
