Ensure that you know the correct address where the interview will be held and that you<br />

know the interviewer’s name<br />

Arrive early but not too early, eg. 5-10 minutes early is fine<br />

When you first meet the interviewer ensure you give a firm handshake and make eye contact<br />

Ensure you maintain eye contact throughout the interview (but don’t stare)<br />

Check your body posture, sit upright in your chair but in a relaxed posture. Don’t cross your<br />

arms or slouch<br />

Try to give your answers confidently and in a positive voice. If you are nervous, acknowledge<br />

that with the interviewer and then try to forget about your nerves. If you are really nervous,<br />

don’t forget to breathe, shallow breathing will set up an automatic response in the body<br />

which will result in you feeling more nervous. Remember to breathe down into your<br />

abdomen.<br />

Don’t smoke before interview, it can be very off-putting to the interviewer if they are a nonsmoker<br />

Don’t take a coffee in with you to interview, it’s not a good look<br />

Dress professionally to promote the right image
