So, we would like to share some positive tips on what to do during an interview:
- Arrive on Time – unless there is a good excuse and you have phoned ahead, you should never arrive late, make a journey plan the day before and if anything, turn up early.
- Research the company – never go into an interview without knowledge of the business you are hoping to work for, it can come across as uninterested.
- Dress Appropriately – while smart casual is the current trend, always ensure you turn up for an interview professionally dressed – socks and sliders are a definite NO.
- Speak well of your current employer – bad mouthing your current employer will only reflect badly on you, make sure you sound like a team player and not somebody that holds a grudge.
- Take a notebook and Pen – making notes will make you look organized and interested in the role
- Stay focused – always make sure you look interested, sit up straight, ask questions, and stay focused.
