Many of the jobs you will apply for will have Process orientated interview processes.

You will find they will be reasonably informal and friendly, however there many be a group of you attending the interview. This is because the employer will usually have a number of positions to fill and the process is in place to allow them to most efficiently recruit a number of people within a small time frame.

Remember, many interviews are actually 'Assessment Centres' - this means:



• From the moment you walk in the door your behaviour is being observed - if you behave inappropriately it may lose you the job
• Be Polite, Friendly and Politically correct
• Always extend your arm for a handshake, whether the interviewer is Male or Female - be firm but not forceful with your handshake
• Look the interviewer in the eye whilst greeting them
• Confidently and clearly introduce yourself using your full name
• It's ok to have a few laughs with the interviewer or the other candidates, but be politically correct - derogatory, racist or sexist comments will lose you the job
• The interviewer will be making a judgement on how you will fit into their team
• Be early for the interview
• Work out where you are going and get there about 15 minutes early as this gives you time to relax and adjust to your environment
• Do not get to interview too early as you will be waiting around for a long time and this may increase you level of nervousness - if you arrive quite early, find a nearby coffee shop and relax with a cold drink or coffee until its time to go into the interview
• Do not smoke before an interview
• Most of all try to relax and be confident and demonstrate that you are ready and capable of working and will make a great contribution to their team if successful!
