• Be on time – preferably 10-15 minutes early so make sure you have looked up exactly where the employer is located and allow that little bit of extra time for traffic or if you make a wrong turn!
  • Always offer a firm handshake upon meeting the interviewer (maybe not in the current environment….)
  • Have a copy of your resume with you and any relevant qualifications including statement of results. 
  • Have your cards/documents handy. In case you need to fill out an application, have some ID with you like a driver’s license, passport or if the position requires you to have specific cards such as working with children’s check, white card etc.
  • Research the company before you go – look at their website and know what they are about
  • Have some questions in mind to ask the employer – about the job, the company
  • Don’t bad mouth previous employers or colleagues
  • Remain attentive – demonstrate positive body language
  • Demonstrate confidence; not arrogance
  • Know your strengths and weaknesses. Have examples of your contribution business in previous roles
  • Smile and demonstrate a personable and friendly attitude
  • Follow up with a thank you email after the interview. Just a short email of appreciation for taking the time to meet with you to show that you are interested and excited about the possibility of joining their team.
