Now you’re at the final selection process, and this is where you need to make a good impression on your new employer. A lot of people, no matter how good they look on paper, in there related field ,will blow it at the interview stage. Not all of us are good at interviews including myself, you need to have the gift of the gab, to sell yourself, some of us have this gift and some people don’t, it seems unfair but it’s just the way it is.

There are a few things you can do to greaten your chances at the interview stage.

1 Personal presentation: All ways and I mean always turn up for the interview neatly dressed. This is an absolute essential, the way you appear portrays a lot about you. A scruffily dressed individual portrays the image, that he or she can’t be bothered and that is the impression that a potential employer will pick up on in the interview process. If you can buy some new clothes and shoes for this purpose then go out and buy some, they don’t have to be designer clothes, just presentable. Pay a visit to the barbers or hair dressers and treat yourself to a haircut, and if you male don’t forget to shave.

2 Be honest: The worst thing that you could possibly do at the interview is lie, well lie and then get caught out by the interviewing team. Apart from making you look like a complete fool it will blow your chances of getting that job that you have worked so hard to get, really it’s not worth it. Some of these large corporate companies employee specially trained interviewers who are as sharp as a samurai sword and will catch you out if your not truthful. Always answer the interviewers questions as accurately and a truthfully as you possibly can. You will come across as a genuine person and the interviewer will appreciate your honesty, let’s face it would you employ a liar.

3 Be Prepared: Before you even think of entering the interview room, get yourself ready. Read through your CV and memorise it word for word. The interview panel will have a copy of your CV in front of them and will be asking you questions based on the details that it provides. The interview team will be quizzing you, and if they ask you a question that is based on the information that you have supplied via your CV and you give them a wrong answer it will make you look like one of two things, a liar or a fool. Either way it will not do you any favours and will lessen your chances of getting the job.
