Top tips to Smash your Interview

Bite-size read: Finding a job in this economy is a little bit wild, as we know jobs are scarce nowadays. So, if you're lucky enough to get one here is some top tips directly from Recruiters for the day that will help you smash your interview!

I know we all get anxious but its not as big as your making it out to be, you are being interviewed on the thing you know best and that is YOURself and YOUR experience. Once you get this in your head, this may calm your nerves, how can you mess up by just being yourself?

Here are 3 top tips to smash it:

1. Know your CV – I put this first because it is one of the most important, you should know your experience from education to your most current role from heart and all your duties in each role, this way when questioned it will feel like second nature, when memorising your duties also think of experiences around certain duties, so if asked to explain further you won't be stuck for words.

2. Arrive 20 minutes before appointment – leave a great first impression and give you time to relax before you get there, use the loo, check your hair is in place, maybe even ask for a glass of water or coffee just in case your parched, but you should always have your own bottle of water just in case.

3. Dress appropriately – Always ask what attire you should wear. You would not want to feel uncomfortable in wearing something that just might make you feel stiff when everyone may usually would wear smart casual. Good luck.
