Here are some tips and things to remember during the interview and after it's all over.
Some don'ts:
- Do not be long winded.
- Do not criticise or make bad remarks about previous employers.
- Do not ask questions about salary and conditions until invited to discuss this area, usually later in the interview.
After the Interview:
If you come out of the interview knowing that you did everything possible to promote yourself in a realistic and favourable manner, you will feel a sense of achievement and well being. You will have tried to promote yourself to the best of your ability and no one can ask nor expect more.
Hopefully your application will be successful. If not, learn from the experience. Re-examine your preparation, your performance during the interview and other relevant factors mentioned above and finally, where possible, find out from the interviewer the reason why you were not selected.
Above all, do not be discouraged.
Treat each interview as a separate exercise.
