Interview

The art of interviewing well…

Tom O’Neil, founder of CV.co.nz Tom O’Neil 1 min read

Interviewing well for a new job is more of an art than a science. However there are a number of things you can do to improve your chance of a successful interview. For example:

Fortune favours the prepared - Being properly prepared for the interview is critical for it to go well. Create a list of questions you think might be asked = You can look at the job description and advertisement to help you with these. Then have some mock interview practice the week before with family and friends. Also re-read the organisations website and job description to remind you of the key points your need to focus on.

Remember an interview is like any other meeting - Take supporting information into the meeting such as the job description, copy of your CV, questions you wish to ask the employer as well as a pad and pen you can take notes. This will ensure the information you need is at your fingertips, and will hopefully take some of the nerves out of the process!

Remembering the above, will ensure you are in a good place to capitalise on your achievements, skills and experience at the interview!
