Experienced technical recruiters and job search candidates know that preparation and planning is everything when it’s time to land a new position. Here are a few proven tips to help you make the best possible impression at interview:
Preparation
Interviews are two-way meetings. Not only are they an opportunity for the interviewer to obtain details about you and assess your suitability for the position, but they’re also an opportunity for you to obtain information on the organisation and whether the position will give you the challenge and job satisfaction you’re looking for.
Think about your skills, qualifications and experience and ensure that you can talk confidently about what is written on your CV. In particular, ensure that you can talk about the skills that are relevant to the position you are going for.
Prepare some questions to ask at the interview. At the first interview, it would be wise to restrict your questions to the details of the job and the organisation. Salary and benefit discussions are best left until a second interview or until you’ve received a job offer.
Do your Homework
Find out as much as possible about the company before your interview. A good starting point is to visit their website and obtain information about the products and services they offer, the location of the office/s, and the number of employees. Ask your recruitment agency if they have any additional information on them.
Dress Code and Appearance
Ask the agency what the client's dress code is. For office work, smart business dress is a must. Ensure you are well groomed with tidy hair, clean shoes and clothing. Do not wear too much perfume or aftershave and keep make-up, jewellery and nail polish simple.
Travel and timing
Plan your journey beforehand to ensure you arrive a few minutes early. Always allow for possible travel delays and, in case of a major hold up, make sure you have your contact's telephone number so you can call if you think you will be late.
The Interview
What to expect
Interviews come in many forms – including panel interviews, one-to-one meetings and group interviews. Ask your agency what form of interview to expect. Depending on the type of organisation, you may also be asked to take one or more tests before the interview; these might consist of psychometric or aptitude tests.
There are many different interview styles and each interviewer will have their own personal style. Some interviewers will fire questions at you while others will start off with an open question such as "tell me about yourself", leaving you to do most of the talking. The majority of interviews will combine the two. Be prepared for any style of interview.
Two-way Communication
Make sure you tell the employer the benefits of employing you. It is important to sell yourself by telling the employer details of your relevant skills and experience and how (the benefit to them) these will contribute to the organisation.
Try not to monopolise the meeting – let your interviewer talk.
Find out the key parts of the candidate specification so you can show how you meet them. Ask how the job contributes to the success, efficiency and profitability of the organisation. Show that you have conducted some research.
Don't give negative information or bad news if you are not asked for it and never criticise previous employers or jobs. The key is to turn negative information into positive information.
The Next Steps
At the end of the interview, make sure to agree exactly what the next steps will be, such as who will contact you to let you know if you have been successful and by when. You should also find out whether there will be second interviews and who will conduct them. If you are interested in the position make sure you tell the interviewer. A simple follow-up letter, thanking the interviewer for their time, restating a few key benefits from employing you, and confirming your interest can often work wonders.
After the Interview
Tell the agency how the interview went and ask for feedback from them.
Negotiation
Everything is negotiable. If the final offer is not what you had hoped for, ask the agency to talk to the client. Say that you like the position but that the package is not up to your expectations and ask if the company can be flexible.
Top tips
-
Practice a strong positive handshake and plan your greeting.
- Remember to smile and be polite to all the staff you meet, including those at the consultancy. They are an important link in the recruitment process and may influence a decision in your favour.
- Unless you feel particularly comfortable, do not accept tea or coffee at the interview as it can get in the way.
- If you are taking papers to the interview, carry them in a suitable case or folder.
|
|
|
- Plan carefully. Do you know where you are going and how to get there?
Who are you seeing?
- Make sure you know the names of the people who will be interviewing you.
Practice saying them if they are difficult to pronounce.
- You can never do enough preparation for an interview. Find out everything you can about the company and the product or service it provides. Look for current news – it shows you are up to date.
- Why does this job exist? What problems will it solve? What are the Key Result Areas?
How can your skills and experience add value to their business?
- Employers buy experience. Think about what evidence of achievement you can talk about in the interview; rehearse your success stories and how they relate to the business’s needs.
- Work out what is appropriate in terms of everything you present, including yourself.
Look the part, and you will feel it. Dress as if you are already doing the job.
- Second-guess the employer's "shopping list" from the job details. What skills, qualities and experience do you have that match their stated requirements?
- Be your own worst interview nightmare. What is the most difficult question you might have to face? Practice the answer. Then practice again.
- Be upbeat. Employers latch on to negative messages, so don't give them any.
- Prepare for rejection. On balance, you will be rejected more times than accepted. Even if you don't get the job, you can learn a huge amount about your perceived market value. Remember, there's a great job out there for you somewhere – more people are working in the UK than ever before.

Create the right picture, and the employer won't be able to imagine a future without you. You might be asked to "Sell me this pencil sharpener/ paper clip/ biro" - prepare to think on your feet.
Here are some common interview questions which may prompt you to think ahead and will aid your preparation.
"Tell us about yourself"
Prepare for the worst - a classic opener that can really throw you. Plan ahead by having presentation statement to cover this.
"Where do you see yourself in 5 years' time?"
If your answer doesn't ring true for you, it won't for anyone else. Talk about career plans, and what you want to learn and achieve in the future.
"Why do you want this job?"
Have a clear positive answer to this (even if, privately, you're not sure - you only have to decide when the job offer is confirmed).
"What kind of person are you?"
Handle questions about personality carefully. Rather than say "I'm an ideas person", talk about a time when you changed things with a good idea.
"Why did you leave [a previous job]?"
Employers will probe for reasons for job change. If you are currently out of work, they will probe this, too. Rehearse short, simple, positive "stories" to cover these points. This is not telling lies, just a simple, positive summary.
"How will you cope in a crisis?"
Have a couple of good examples of past triumphs up your sleeve.
"How will you...?"
Questions are beginning to create a future which includes you - so welcome them. Describe what you would do within the organisation as if you were there already.
"What would you do if ….?"
Some interviewers ask fantasy questions not related to reality, but watch out for questions that are like verbal in-tray exercises.
"What do you need to earn?"
Wrong question. Focus on the value you can add to the employer, not your basic needs. Find out what the company is willing to pay, or work out what similar employers pay for good people. Always throw pay questions back to the interviewer.
"What are your weaknesses?"
Remember that the recruiter gives far more weight to negative information. Talk about weaknesses that are also strengths, e.g. being demanding of your team, being a perfectionist or pushing hard to get things done. |
