Interview Techniques



BEFORE TAKING THE NEXT STEP IN YOUR CAREER PATH YOU MUST SUCCEED AT YOUR INTERVIEW. IT IS AT THIS TIME THAT ALL THAT CONFIDENCE YOU HAD SEEMS TO DISAPPEAR. SUCCESSFUL INTERVIEWS DON'T JUST HAPPEN THEY REQUIRE PREPARATION. GO PREPARED AND MAINTAIN YOUR CONFIDENCE.

Preparation

Talk to your Elisjones Consultant and find out about the company offering the position, its job specification and the skills and experience required.

Do your Homework. Research the company. Check out their website, find out about their products and services. Compare your skills and experience against the job specification.

Make a note of any special skills or experience you have that matches the job specification that can validate your selection for the job.

Make a list of questions to ask the interviewer. Always let the interviewer know that you have researched their website, and tell them you have some additional questions. (Talk to your Elisjones consultant about the sort of questions that would be appropriate at this point.)

Plan your travel to the interview. Ideally arrive ten minutes early so that you arrive relaxed. (If taking public transport, take the earlier train or bus to allow for cancellations.)

Present yourself as the person you want to be. Look professional
