Be yourself. Don't try to pretend to be something you're not.
Dress smart.
Be punctual.
Listen.
Take something to write on and maybe have a few questions written down so you look prepared.
Research the company if possible. |

"Remember to stay focused even during opening/closing questions, as they are still inter_iewing.
Most importantly, get it.  "
Im hoping so. It means i can relocate back to where my little un lives again |

confidance every time
Dont sit there being quiet only replying when spoken to, initiate some of the conversation yourself
I used to inter_iew in my last job and people who just said yes or no to anything i asked put me off straight away
remember they need you just as much as you need them so dont be afraid to ask them questions too |

Smile - if they are inter_iewing you then you are qualified to do the job, so whether they would want to work with you is key.
Research the company and ask one or two relevant questions at the end of inter_iew - shows that you are committed.
Be enthusiastic about the role, speak about how you would enjoy the challenge and how your previous work experience is relevant.
GOOD LUCK! |

All of the above but do ask some good questions about what the company dose. Makes you seem intrested. They can be questions that already know the answer but they don't know you do. |

The last set of inter_iews I did I was on a panel of three male inter_iewers. One girl came in to the office and was extremely flustered. So I tried to get her settled, and she soon got into her stride answering the questions. That was until she decided to inform us that she was okay now, and apologised for being scatty earlier, 'but its cos I'm menstruating at the minute' me & my colleagues didn't know where to look hahaha
Don't say that in an inter_iew! especially being a bloke |

Glad to hear, best of luck to you.
You've been given some great advice here.
Research the company very well! check them out on the internet, phone them, ask for brochures on products etc if you can't get much info.
The amount of people that came in jeans and t shirts was unbelievable. Get suited & booted, stand out from the crowd in positive ways. When your inter_iewing lots of candidates they can all blend into one, so if you can be outstanding you'll shine. And don't forget to have some great valid questions throughout and for the close of inter_iew. Check out Google for some of these & other inter_iew tips. If you are better prepared you should suffer from the nerves less.
hope it goes well for ya pal

2 tips for inter_iew the first ask questions about the company and the role and second wear clean shoes.
I once got a job and one of the inter_iews told me later her first impression of was positive because I had very clean shoes, which lucky for me there were brand new. |

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
Two weeks is a long wait but there is nothing you can do now. Just let it go and keep interested and positive, if you still want the role.
Inter_iews are a two way process so think about if you feel the inter_iew wasn't good because of something they said that has you worried. |

Just the technical questions weren't answered fluently enough for my liking  (it's a whole new industry I'm trying to get in) they were very nice all the way through but I had to ask when I would find out, they just sort of said thanks for coming along and that's it!!!! |

Fingers crossed for you pal. And if its your first inter_iew of its kind in this new industry & the worse comes to the worse, be optimistic and use it as a learning process. You'll have more knowledge for the next one.
But hope you get some good news all the same  |

I always tell people when I will be calling them but I don't give anything else except a thanks for coming along. Don't worry about that bit. |

Good luck on the next one, however hopefully you will know kind of what to expect... I'm looking hard and feel like I have missed out on an opportunity as I couldn't make the inter_iew day and time due to work, and they only have two days notice |

Always things im looking for when i inter_iew are..
Being punctual,nice and tidy,not being forced just being relaxed and them self and making sure they have manners and have everything they needed to bring with them,if anything.
Just try not to get nerves and babble nonsense.
