Tips at a glance
Focus on your strengths: Remember that the organization knows that you CAN
do the job and they want you to confirm this to them during the interview. Don't let any negative experiences or a gap in your career for example negate all the great work you have done.
Step into the Interviewers Shoes: What exactly is the interviewer looking for from you? Imagine yourself in the interviewers place and try to get a feel for what they need from you. Once you can do that effectively you will be able to build a relationship with them from the first moment of the interview.
Tips at a glance
Listen: Focus on the questions being asked and if you are not sure of the meaning of the question, then ask. This is a two way conversation and the interviewer will respond favorable to being engaged like this however, don't do this with every question as you may come across as lacking in confidence.
Relevant Answers: Keep your answers relevant to the question and do not be tempted to ramble. You may have an interesting story to tell or a great strength but if it is not required in the job don't mention it.
Tips at a glance
Body Language: Smiling, maintaining eye contact, a relaxed focused posture, restrained gesticulation are all examples of good body language which will work for you in the interview.
Ask Questions: You will be given an opportunity to ask questions usually at the end however you do not have to wait until then necessarily. As in any conversation there will be appropriate time when you can interject and ask relevant questions. Be aware that questions about salary, working hours, holidays etc should not be asked at this stage.
