The interview is the most nerve wracking stage in their job search. In this video, I will discuss my top Interview Tips. They are:

Prepare, prepare, prepare. I can’t stress this enough! Prepare: Research The company – depending on the level and role, use your discretion; for example: an accountant may want to look at the financial statements in detail, but a communications person may want to look at the company news releases or speeches Other research could include Google Alerts, Glassdoor.com, and your Network The culture – is this a place you would want to work, and what is their dress code (so you know how to dress for the interview) Location – make sure you know how to get to the destination, and allow for time for traffic, parking, or public transit delays; being 10 minutes early is good. Being 10 seconds late is bad! Prepare: Read your resume to build your war stories This will help you for the “tell me about a time when” questions, such as: Tell me about a time when you had to deal with an irrate customer Tell me about a time when you had to make an unpopular decision Tell me about a time when you made a plan and it didn’t work the first time Prepare: Practice! Make sure you have time to practice some of the typical interview questions, such as: Tell me about a time when… and Tell me about yourself

Smells – no smoking, harsh perfumes, food as they can be distracting during your interview and take focus away from you

Gum – just don’t, instead, use a breath mint

Language – don’t swear

Listen to the question and answer the question being asked – this will come with practice!

Thanks for watching and happy hunting!
