2. Below
is
a
snippet
from
our
Pro

(www.proresumewrite.com)
Interview
Guide
-‐
hope
it
helps
you
in
preparing
for
your
next
interview!
3. It
is
important
that
you
understand
the
expected
interview
behaviours
and
e/que(e.
Through
all
of
your
engagements
with
the
company
you
must
ensure
you
make
a
good
impression.
4. Try
to
be
flexible
with
interview
times
You
will
normally
have
a
good
couple
of
days
to
prepare.
However,
some/mes
things
can
happen
last
minute
so
if
you
do
get
a
call
asking
you
to
come
in
for
interview
in
a
day
or
two's
/me
try
to
be
flexible
as
this
shows
that
you
are
keen
for
the
opportunity
and
can
be
adaptable.
5. Research
the
interview
panel
The
Recruiter
should
provide
you
with
the
name
and
job
/tles
of
all
the
people
who
will
be
interviewing
you,
however,
if
they
do
not
it
is
ok
to
ask
them
to
share
this
with
you.
ì Once
you
have
the
names
of
the
interviewers,
take
a
look
beforehand
at
their
experience
on
LinkedIn
or
depending
on
the
seniority
see
if
there
is
a
blurb
on
the
company
website
about
them
and
their
experience.
ì It
is
helpful
for
you
to
know
who
you
will
be
mee/ng
and
where
they
have
come
from
as
they
may
be
things
in
common
and
you
will
know
how
to
be(er
present
informa/on
to
them.
6. Name
dropping
mutual
contacts
only
ì If
you
no/ce
that
you
have
a
mutual
contact
then
you
can
casually
drop
a
name
during
the
interview
if
it
links
to
a
relevant
example
or
company
you
worked
for,
but
do
not
con)nually
name
drop
different
people.
ì You
also
want
to
be
careful
of
who
you
men/on,
as
you
do
not
know
the
interviewers
feelings
of
that
person
and
you
could
be
considered
guilty
by
associa/on.
7. Note
Taking
Prior
and
During
the
Interview
ì This
is
an
undecided
point
with
both
Recruiters
and
Hiring
Managers
if
it
is
favourable
or
not
for
candidates
to
use
notes
during
an
interview.
ì The
best
thing
to
do
is;
prepare
and
have
notes
which
you
can
refer
to
if
there
is
an
opportunity
to,
but
know
them
well
enough
that
you
do
not
need
to
rely
on
them
if
they
are
not
permi(ed.
8. Language
used
including
the
universal
“WE”
ì This
is
a
/me
to
sell
you
skills
and
experience,
but
there
is
a
fine
line
between
selling
and
coming
across
and
arrogant.
ì Whilst
the
word
‘we’
implies
that
you
are
team
oriented,
which
is
a
posi/ve
a(ribute,
it
does
not
tell
the
interviewers
what
you
par/cularly
did
and
what
you
are
capable
of.
ì On
the
other
hand,
those
who
refer
to
‘I’
throughout
the
interview
can
be
perceived
as
ego/s/cal
and
not
someone
who
recognises
the
value
of
their
team
members.
9. Listening
–
Be
Sure
You
Listen
to
the
Interview
Questions
Carefully
ì When
you
are
nervous
you
may
find
that
you
will
only
listen
to
one
part
of
the
ques/on
and
not
the
rest
of
it
or
you
will
hear
what
they
want
to
hear
and
end
up
giving
an
irrelevant
example.
ì Do
not
be
afraid
to
jot
down
notes
when
the
interviewer
is
asking
a
ques/on
and
pull
out
the
key
criteria
you
need
to
address.
ì If
you
feel
that
you
haven't
got
a
grasp
of
the
ques/on
do
not
start
waffling
in
the
hopes
it
might
come,
ask
the
interviewer
to
repeat
the
ques/on
ì This
will
not
look
bad
as
the
interview
panel
prefer
you
to
give
a
relevant
example
rather
than
waffle.
10. Engage
With
Everyone
in
the
Room
and
Make
Eye
Contact
ì Although
the
manager
will
make
an
overriding
decision,
if
you
have
ignored
anyone
in
the
room
they
will
not
comment
favourably
on
your
interview.
ì Make
sure
to
make
eye
contact
when
talking
to
people.
11. Time
Keeping
ì Interviews
are
normally
only
one
hour
in
length
and
compromise
tradi/onally
of
a
minimum
of
6
ques/ons
but
can
go
up
to
9
or
10.
ì Therefore
it
is
important
to
be
clear
and
concise
with
your
answers,
on
average
you
will
only
have
approximately
4
-‐
5
minutes
to
respond
to
each
ques/on
12. Asking
Questions
of
the
Panel
ì At
the
end
of
every
interview
there
should
be
/me
allocated
for
you
to
ask
ques/ons
of
the
interviewers.
Be
sure
that
you
always
ask
a
couple
of
ques/ons.
ì By
not
asking
a
ques/on
it
can
give
the
impression
that
you
feel
you
know
the
job
already
which
let's
face
it
no
one
knows
the
job
fully
un/l
you
are
in
it.
ì Again
you
want
to
come
across
as
interested
in
the
posi/on
and
not
over-‐confident.
13. Most
importantly
remember
to
close
out
the
interview
by
thanking
them
for
their
/me
and
the
opportunity
to
meet
with
them!
