Many job seekers assume they know how to present themselves well.
INTERVIEWS DO'S AND DON'TS

DO'S

Dress smartly, look bright and attentive and speak clearly and confidently.

Find out where the venue is before, how to get there and how long it takes.

Take your time when answering the questions: make sure you understand the question and take your time if you need to think.

Prepare some questions to ask at the end of the interview – use it as an opportunity to find out more about the role and the company.

Keep your answers focused on what you can do for the employer, not what they can do for you.

DON'TS

Don’t be late

Don’t read from notes or CV- you should be familiar enough with your own history to be able to talk about it unprompted.

Don’t slouch in your seat or do anything that makes you look uninterested.

Don’t show up knowing nothing about the position.

Don’t lie: the interviewer may see through you.
