Quick Tips to Prepare for a Job Interview
Need to prepare for a job interview? Here are some quick tips to ensure you shine at your interview.
- Get up even earlier than you think you need so there is no danger of you rushing, giving you time to eat breakfast (do not skip breakfast).
- Make sure you shower in the morning before your interview (not the night before). An invigorating shower will get the blood flowing and therefore help your brain to function more efficiently.
- Make sure you know where you are going for the job interview and how long it will take you to get there in rush hour.
- Decide what you are going to wear to your job interview a week prior to the interview so you can make sure it is clean and ironed, and that you have all the right accessories such as shoes, bag/briefcase etc.
- Prepare the most common interview questions in your head, such as:
- Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?
- What are your greatest assets or weaknesses?
- Why do you want to work for the company etc?
- Remember to smile and imagine that you are at the interview from the minute you get within 100 yards from the building where you will have your interview. You never know who you might meet on the way in and you will want to make sure all your first impressions are positive ones.
