Interview Tips

It is important you know the location to the client’s office prior to attending the interview, make sure you arrive 10 – 15 minutes before the interview starts. Make sure you are not late.

This will give you time to relax before the interview starts.

Be Prepared!!

Read through the job description and if you have any questions please contact your recruitment consultant.

Check out the client website to gain an understanding of the company and the background of the company. Knowledge of the company always goes down well at the interview. For example, type of industry, products and services they offer, number of staff and where the company operates from (UK /Overseas).

Dress to Impress, you may only have the one opportunity to impress therefore we always suggest a smart professional image.

Print off a couple of copies of your CV to take along with you.  Reference letters /certificates and any supporting documents that you may feel back up your application may also be helpful.
