If you have been offered an interview for a job you have applied for you need to give yourself the best possible chance of being successful and with some preparation you can enhance the likelihood of a positive outcome.
Firstly, you need to do some research about the company and the role you are interviewing for. For example, how long has the company been in business for, what are their main products and services and what are the skills they are asking potential employees to hold.
Think carefully beforehand about your CV and how you can discuss the positive elements of this to convey your strengths. The STAR method is a useful strategy to use that is: Situation you had to deal with, Task you were given to do, Action you took and Result what happened as a result of the action you took and what you learned from the experience.
Asking a friend or relative to help you prepare by posing questions you may be required to answer can be invaluable as can practising presentations in front of them.
When it comes to the interview day ensure that you are punctual and smartly dressed as first impressions are vitally important.
