Interview skills
Make sure you stand out from the crowd.

- Read the job description carefully and think about how you can show that you have the experience and skills required.
- Keep your shoulders back and smile. Give a firm handshake and make lots of eye contact.
- Use everything from your hobbies to your work experience to prove you’re right for the job.
- Make sure your answers are relevant to the questions. Don’t waffle on but do give decent sized answers (so that means not just saying yes or no).
- If you’re stuck for an answer, be honest. Say “I’d need to give that some thought” or “I’m not experienced in that field”.
- Don’t fidget during the interview: it makes you look nervous.
- You should seem genuinely interested in the job. When you’re researching the company think of questions that you can ask in the interview. Pick something that particularly interests you about the job or ask about your career development in the company.
- Don’t ask about pay, holidays or job benefits. This gives a bad impression so it’s best to leave these questions until you’ve been offered the job.
