10 tips for what to do during a job interview

Successful interviews require proper research, practise, presentation and follow up. Below are 10 tips for candidates to remember to be successful during an interview:

• Arrive early and be thoroughly prepared.
• Use your smile :, whenever appropriate.
• Display a positive body language i.e. firm handshake, good posture, no crossed hands, maintain good eye contact.
• Be an attentive listener.
• Answer to the point and elaborate using examples where applicable, however try to avoid answering using simply 'Yes' and 'No'.
• Speak positively about past employers.
• Being nervous is normal during an interview, don't lose focus and don't let that disturb you in any way.
• Use specific examples from your past experiences to positively highlight your strengths (behavioural interviewing).
• Make sure you ask questions when offered i.e. one to two questions.
• Remember to 'sell' yourself!

Good luck.
