Make First Impressions
Count!
You may not think that the above statement is
something to really put an enormous effort into, but you
would be wrong.
It’s a well known fact that in the first five minutes
you can have possibly landed the job or blown it! The
interviewers have after all, already read your
Application / CV, so they are fully aware of your paper
qualifications and experience.
So, what are the dos
and don’ts?
Always dress as smartly as possible not forgetting
the shoes! (It is surprising how many people looking at
themselves in a mirror don’t look at their feet!)
Make sure your attire is clean, well laundered and fits
properly.
The temperature may be in the 90s but looking like
you are about to spend the remainder of the day relaxing
outdoors does not always go down well, particularly if
the position involves contact with the public.
If you smoke, make sure you do not smell of this and
definitely do not light up at any time whilst at your
potential employer’s premises.
Don’t chew gum.
Don’t lie about your abilities but stress your
willingness to learn new things.
Before the interview decide what your strengths and
weaknesses are and have a mental idea of how to give the
best response when asked for these.
When asked if you have anything that you would like
to know about the position, which may not have already
been covered, try to ask possibly one question but don’t
make that “How much holiday pay do I get?” / “How much
sick pay do I get?” / “When do I get a pay rise?”.
When exiting the interview, stand up, shake the hand
of the interviewer/s, thank them for their time and
state that you look forward to hearing from them.
