3 Key Tips to Impress Your Interviewer

2. 1. Research
Before any interview you must do your research as you
will be expected to know a little about the business
that you’re looking to join.
Start with the company website-
 What does it do and what services does it offer?
 When was the company formed and what is their
vision?

3. Another place to research is on
their LinkedIn company page. You
could even search the profile page
of your interviewer.
Expanding your company
knowledge will not only boost your
confidence but will create a great
first impression.

4. 2. Practise and planning
The interviewer will want to get to know you
and will allow you opportunities to sell yourself.
Think about what questions the interviewer
may ask you and plan your responses to
promote yourself in the best way possible.
Example questions:
 Why are you looking for a career in recruitment?
 What skills do you have to bring to the company and the
role?
 What are your strengths (and weaknesses)?

5. 2. Practise and Planning
 It is also useful for you to take your own pre-prepared questions with you.
 By taking a notebook and pen you can show your own initiative and
eagerness to learn.
 Plan your arrival. This may sound obvious but you will need to know
where the company is based and how to arrive on time. Always aim to
arrive early to allow yourself time to relax .
 If you are unavoidably late you MUST call the interviewer to let them
know, so it is advisable to have their number saved to your phone.

6. 3. Presentation
What to wear:
 Polished shoes and ironed clothes .
 You must be clean, smart and wearing business attire.
 It is advisable that men are shaven and wear a tie and suit.
 Women may not need a suit but should still aim to be as smart
as possible.

7. 3. Presentation
 Never eat or chew gum during an interview
 Greet the interviewer with a handshake and thank the interviewer for their
time.
 Body language is also important; you should sit upright and maintain eye
contact.
 Make sure your speech is clear, well enunciated and fluid. Taking a deep
breath before answering a question may help you relax and give you time
to think before you answer.
