3. At the Interview
• Offer a handshake to your interviewer on arrival
and departure
• Look the interviewer in the eye
• Smile and be enthusiastic
• Avoid saying negative comments about your
previous employer or colleagues
• Ask a question about the company at the end of
the interview as it shows you’re interested. Such
as what level of training is involved or what is the
company’s culture.
4. How to Control Your Nerves
• Practise answering interview questions in a
mirror or better still ask a friend or family
member to interview you
• Write notes and take them along to the interview
• If you don’t know how to answerer a question
straight away, don’t panic! Ask for a minuet to
think and take your time
• If offered a glass of water, take it. Taking a sip of
water allows time to think and calm down.
