Booking the interview
Congratulations! You've landed an interview – now it's time to prepare. Before you start doing a happy dance, check if the interview date suits your schedule. The last thing you want is to be scrambling around like a headless chicken. It's also important to note that rescheduling can be seen as a red flag to the company, and may compromise your job prospects.
Pro-tip: Find out beforehand whether it's a face-to-face, phone, or video interview. The last thing you want is to be caught off guard.
Preparation
The key to a successful interview is preparation. Here are some helpful tips to help you get ready:
Go through the job description and identify the necessary skills and experience the employer is looking for. This will help you stay on track and be ready to answer any questions that come your way.
Take a look at the company's website to learn more about their values, mission, and culture. This will assist you in adapting your responses and demonstrating to the interviewer that you're an ideal candidate.
Review your CV or application form and anticipate the questions the interviewer might ask. Be prepared to provide specific examples from your previous experiences to back up your skills and abilities.
Practice answering interview questions with a trustworthy friend or family member. This will assist you in feeling confident and well-prepared during the interview.
Remember, invest time and effort before the big day to ensure that you ace the interview like a boss!
Use the “star” method
to answer questions
Situation - the situation you had to deal with
Task - the task you were given to do
Action - the action you took
Result - what happened as a result of your action and what you learned from the experience
The day has arrived
Job interviews can be nerve-wracking, but fear not! Give yourself plenty of time to get to the interview location, if the interview is virtual attempt to log in to overcome any issues before its too late. Stay focused by turning off your phone and avoiding any potential distractions, doing this well before the interview will put you in a focused mindset. Be ready to start five to ten minutes before the scheduled time, don’t attempt to arrive or log in 1 minute before it is due to begin, this can be a red flag for the interviewer as it can come across unprepared, we would advise around 15 minutes before the arranged start time. Store the recruitment consultant or interviewer's contact details in case of any unforeseen delays or technical difficulties.
What’s going to happen
in the interview itself
First, the interviewer will introduce themselves & brief you on the job and how the interview will proceed. Then, it's time to shine! They will ask you a series of questions related to the position you're interested in. Answer like a pro with the STAR method, and feel free to take notes and seek clarification when necessary. Keep in mind that you're the star of the show, so choose the best examples to showcase your skills. But there's more! Take charge of the interview by asking your own questions as well. Finally, conclude by inquiring about the timeline for hearing back
Post-interview
So, you've finished the interview and you're eager to hear back. Take the initiative to follow up with a friendly email or phone call, unless they've already informed you of when to expect a response.

Request written confirmation of the offer
Confirm your start date and any required notice period
