Your Invitation to Interview
An invitation to interview means the employer believes you have the potential to do the job. The interview is your chance to convince the recruiter that you are the right person.
So how do you prepare and ensure that your performance gets you the job?
- Research the company, its competitors, market position and challenges/developments within the industry.
- Prepare a list of questions that you think might be asked and plan your answers. A useful tip is to look at the job description.
- This should enable you to define the required qualities and identify the skills and experiences that you need to fulfil the role
- Think of any questions you would like to ask the recruiter about the company and the position you are applying for.
Making the best impression on your interviewer is very important to stand you in good stead if you are being considered for a position.
Employers will expect you to:
- Dress smartly
- Arrive on time
- Relax and be yourself
- Listen carefully to questions
- Plan before you speak and answer the question asked
- Be enthusiastic
- Focus on what you can offer them
- Emphasise your skills and experiences directly relevant to the position
- If your degree is not vocational, you should describe how transferable skills can benefit the position
- Take to the interview examples of the company's competencies, e.g their market position
Employers will not recruit candidates who:
- Demonstrate a lack of enthusiasm or negative attitude towards themselves or others
- Criticise their managers, or those they report to
- Give the impression that they only applied for the position because another post didn't materialise
