First impressions count! So it’s important to conduct yourself in a manner that is appropriate.
· Don’t be late! Punctuality is important
· Don’t chew gum. The worst thing would be for it to fall out onto your CV and hand it to the potential employer. Here you can view some more of the embarrassing moments our grads have experienced during an interview – feel free to share.
· Don’t dress casually! I know we all like to try to abide by the saying ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover,’ but what you wear and how you present yourself is of utmost importance in an interview. If it is for a corporate company wear a suit. Make sure you remove all piercings, wear minimal jewelry, and are cleanly shaven if you are a male. If you do not own a suit wear a nice skirt and blouse or dress pants and a shirt.
· Don’t be shy. Even if you are a quite achiever in the interview you need to sell yourself! Be confident and speak up.
We wish you all the best and happy job hunting!
