Do your research
Putting in the time to properly research the position before your job interview can help boost your confidence. It doesn’t hurt to do some research to see if there have been any recent developments or trends that may be affecting the sector and could directly have an impact on the position you’re interviewing for. It’s also another piece of information that can be brought up in the conversation to demonstrate your keen interest in the role.
Plan ahead Before the interview you should:
Have ready some examples of previous work achievements that demonstrate your suitability to the role’s requirements.
Practice interviewing. Call up a friend (better yet, a group of friends and colleagues) and get them to run mock interviews and ask you some
common interview questions.
Articulate how you are going to introduce yourself and talk through your ‘story’ so far.
Video your practice interview sessions. Pay attention to body language and verbal presentation. Practice using positive body language (shoulders down and back, a positive and interested facial expression etc.) which is important even if the interview is a virtual one.
Handle logistics early. Have your clothes, resume, and details of the interview, ready ahead of time to avoid any extra stress on the day.
Look, act, and dress professionally. Have an interview outfit ready to go (even if it is hi-vis!).
