Interviewing can be so nervewracking and leave you feeling crappy about yourself and your ability to communicate effectively and make a good impression.
1. Apply to relevant jobs and companies
Get to know yourself
Before even applying to jobs, you need to understand yourself and what jobs/companies are the best fit for your skills, personality traits and career goals.
2. Do your homework before interviews
Don't show up unprepared
Whay do you want to work for us? Do you know what we do? How well do you know our company? Do your research and understand the company you’re interviewing for!
3. Create your personal story
What makes you stand out
The interviewer has already read your CV, website and LinkedIn so tell them the story they don’t know and let them in on your journey of who you are and who you want to be.
4. Prep for difficult questions
Practise makes perfect!
What are your weaknesses? Who inspires you and why? How do you learn? These are some common questions that are asked that can trip you up. Prepare for them!
5. Ask questions at the end
Make an impression and ask
At the end of interviews, you will be asked if you have any questions. Don’t waste this opportunity! Ask thoughtful questions about the company, culture and role.
