For many an initial interview, whether it's over the phone or face-to-face, is the first opportunity an employer has gage an impression of you – so be sure to leave the right one!
Here are some tips to help you overcome the most common interview jitters and help you shine.
Interviews can be intimidating, especially if they are something you've never really experienced before, but like anything else, with a little practice and rehearsal it is a skill you can soon master.
There's an old saying that has never rung truer than when it comes to interviews – Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.
Think about the most common questions you are likely to be asked and rehearse your answer, this way you won't get stuck and will be ready with something to say.
Showing you know a little bit about the company will help you tailor and apply specific knowledge about the company to your answer. This will also show your prospective employer that you have taken the initiative to learn about their business.
You might be going for an interview at a company where casual attire is the norm, however for any interview it's always best to dress smart and stylish. Conventional office wear is a great way to create a professional first impression.
When arriving for your interview, arrive early and give yourself plenty of time for travel. During the interview make eye contact, but not so much to make your interviewer feel uncomfortable. Avoid fidgeting, try to keep and open posture and smile!
Before your interview either before you leave for interview or somewhere else a little private – strike a power pose! This will boost your endorphins and improve your confidence.
Don't be afraid to exchange polite pleasantries with your interviewer and have a little social banter – this will help to put you at ease and show you are capable of holding a conversation.
Before your interview or the night before, take out everything you might need, such as pens, a notebook and even a clean copy of your CV. Focus on what your interviewer is saying, and before answering each question, take a pause and think about your answer- this will stop you from rambling so you are more able to give an exact and concise answer.
During your interview don't be afraid to take notes, this helps to create the impression that you are paying full attention.
During or at the end of your interview you will be asked if you have any questions, never say you have nothing to ask – this will make you seem disinterested. Always have a few questions ready relating to your job and role. Avoid asking about pay, holiday allowance or working offsite at home.
When the interview comes to an end, leave on a positive, thank them for seeing you and that you look forward to hearing back.
The day following your interview, put your name in front of the company again, send an email to your contacts their and thank them for seeing you, ask if there is anything else they require to support your application for the role.
Remember it's ok to lose your track of thought during an interview, take a pause, a deep breath and continue.
