Interview Hints

The interview process is a very important part in obtaining employment. Even though you may have an excellent resume, the manner in which you present yourself to prospective employers can be the most significant aspect of your job application. We hope that you find the following list of interview hints useful.

Prior to the Interview

  • Research the company you are attending an interview with.
  • Conservative and professional grooming is important. Avoid bright colors and prints, excessive makeup and elaborate hairstyles. Remember to check that your shoes are polished and presentable.
  • Prepare questions for the interview, i.e. regarding the position you are applying for, the company culture and vision, their status in the market place, training and development for their employees, etc.
The Interview

  • Greet the interviewer by their surname, shaking hands firmly, and smile. Maintain eye contact while in conversation.
  • Ask questions to show interest, i.e. description of position, reason for the vacancy, company growth plans etc.
  • Highlight previous success and have copies of any certificates, achievements, examples of work to validate, if appropriate.
  • Finally, if you can do the job and want the job, say so and ask for the opportunity.
After the Interview

  • Make contact with your Power Consultant and relay what happened during the interview as well as how you felt about it. This will help us to be prepared for the interviewer and be able to communicate better on your behalf.
