How to make the right impression at job interviewers.

Preperation

2. Get to know well your CV or application form and covering letter. Look through the job advert.
3. Practice your answers to questions aloud and rehearse the interview with a friend. Ask your friends if you have any pet phrases or annoying habits when talking such as saying 'you know what I mean' too frequently. Make sure that you have the suitable clothes to wear and are well groomed. Generally it's worth wearing a good quality suit, washing your hair, polishing your shoes, and so on.

On the day

1. Dress smartly.
2. Do you utmost to arrive on time. Make sure you have the interviewers’ contact numbers with you so that you can get in touch if you get held up.
3. Take three or four spare copies of your CV with you.
4. Give a firm handshake.
5. Be enthusiastic about yourself, the job and the company.

11. Make eye contact.

Follow up afterwards

If you don't get the job, contact the interviewer to ask if they can give you some feedback on the interview. The feedback can help with the next interview.
