Interviews how not to get them wrong

Editor's Notes

  1. We expect students to visit universities. Candidates should visit school to get a “feel” for the place and the area which you won’t get from looking at websites. Do you want to work in that school, in that area? Do you want to love in that area? Can you commute? What about your spouse's job and you kids’ school?
  2. Not ensuring your vision matches the governors’. This is a perfect hand and a prefect pair of gloves but they are not meant for each other. Don’t try and fit your hand into the wrong sized glove!
  3. Send off for the application form. Many places now ask you not to send your CV. If that’s the case then don’t. You’ll be wasting your time.
  4. Read it carefully. What is the job spec and can you do it? Do you want to do it?
  5. What is the person spec and do you match it? Here A is Application, I is interview. E is essential and D is desirable.
  6. The essentials are essential. You may not be shortlisted if you don't have the essentials. Don’t waste your time and the panel’s time
  7. Take great care filling out the form. Don’t leave it till the last minute
  8. Take your time over it. This is your chance to sell yourself to the panel. Don’t rush when filling it.
  9. Not answering what was asked. Panel will not be impressed. CV not required then don’t send in one.
  10. Not proofreading is one of the biggest mistakes you can make. Proof read it more than once. Leave it for a week or so and proofread it again. Then ask soneone else to read it for you. They may pick up some mistakes which you didn’t.
  11. We especially don’t like spelling mistakes! Don’t rely on spell check. Get someone else to proofread it too.
  12. Some applicants fill out as many application forms as they can. They change the name of the school and that’s it. They keep the rest of the form the same. The panel will be able to judge if you’ve done that. It’ll be very clear that you aren’t applying to their school.
  13. Don’t think you’ve been shortlisted to make up the numbers. We don't want to waste our time or yours. Another mistake people make is thinking if there is an internal candidate then the panel has already decided to appoint the internal candidate. This is wrong. We want the best person for the job. If you think the interview is a formality and the internal candidate will be appointed then you will be selling yourself short. And this will also affect your perforamce.
  14. Winging it is not a nice look!. Be prepared!
  15. Appearing uninterested or unprepared
  16. Not asking any questions. Two way street. Ask questions to work out if you’ll be happy working there
  17. Being prepared is good but don’t give answers which appeared to be rehearsed. For example if asked what’s your biggest weakness don’t say things which sound trite or show a lack of insight.
  18. Don’t badmouth current/previous employers. Don’t appear to be angry. Panel has only your side of the story so they won’t be able to make a judgement if what you are saying is correct.
  19. Trying to fudge answers never goes down well. Give honest answers. For example gaps in employment. Remember the Apprentice interviews!
