Making a lasting impression
Interviews are just like exams and require advance preparation. If you do not prepare, you may find yourself sat there on the day not knowing all the answers and not giving your best. Whilst with some exams you may be able re-sit the paper, you will only have one chance to get the interview right.
With junior positions there may only be one interview, with senior posts there may be two or three interviews or even a lunch/dinner/drinks with the team at the final stages; but unless you are thoroughly prepared for the first interview, you will lose out on the chance to shine at the subsequent stages.
SmileRemind yourself that no matter what happens during the meeting, it is a great achievement to be invited to interview; so enjoy the experience and remember to smile. The employer has asked to meet with you and is excited at the prospect of meeting a potential new employee, share in their excitement that you are about to meet your potential new employer. |  |
