Interview Tips 

Continued...

Avoid the temptation to ramble and if you don’t understand the question ask the Interviewer either re-phrase or repeat the question. If asked a question you don’t know the answer to then just say so.  Be aware of your own body language, sit up straight (leaning forward implies interest), smile and use eye contact with all interviewers.  Project enthusiasm throughout and 'smile'.

Asking Questions
Prepare your questions well in advance, ensuring they are positive, relevant and knowledgeable. Use this time to impress with your preparation and clear up any questions you have.  If you are not sure about any parts of the job or about the company – ASK. 

At the End of the Interview
If you are asked whether you are interested in the position - unless you are very definitely NOT - always answer yes.  Try to impress on the interviewer that you have enjoyed your meeting and are interested in taking things further.  Thank the interviewer for their time and shake hands.

Additional Advice
Do not criticise your current, previous employers or appear unneccessarily confrontational.  Be yourself and you will appear confident and relaxed.  It is imperative that you prepare questions for your Interviewer it shows you have truly thought about the role and the company.  By all means ask around to find out more about a company but be prepared to make your own mind up, do not turn down opportunities on hearsay, find out for yourself.  Consider all the opportunities, get more information, weigh up all the pros and cons and think of the long term.
