At Lamb Personnel our tagline is ‘Recruiting with Passion’ and this flavours all that we do. Our focus is always on providing a great service for candidates. What makes us different is that we are non-transactional, friendly, fast and most of all, personalised.
When it comes to working with candidates, we always give it our best shot. When you come to us for advice and coaching, you know that you are going to be on the receiving end of some sure-fire powerful techniques.
This applies even to interview tips. Once you get to the interview stage of job selection, you have a real opportunity to sell your innate skills and abilities. As well as the company finding out more about you, you have the chance to ascertain if the job is ideal for you.
Here are a few interview tips to get you off to a good start:
On the day
Arrive on time. You don’t have to be too early but rushing and arriving flustered is definitely not a good thing. Look and dress professionally and to suit the role. Make sure that your mobile phone is off or on silent and enter the room confidently with a smile on your face. Listen carefully to the questions asked and make sure that you answer them; when a little nervous, it is easy to waffle and talk about everything but the answer. Think through what you are going to say before you speak and don’t rush. Don’t feel that you have to ‘over-talk’ in order to create a good impression – concentrate on your strengths and experiences and if the job comes across as being the perfect fit for you, don’t be afraid to say so. Before leaving, it is always a good idea to ask when you will receive a decision or if there be any secondary interviews.
Do all of this and you are well on your way to landing the job of your dreams!
