Want to really impress and secure that dream job? Follow these invaluable tips from the experts and you’ll have a better chance at standing out against the competition.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS COUNT
What the interviewer perceives about you in the first instance is likely to influence their thinking throughout the interview, so it’s important to make a good impression. Change leadership and career expert Michelle Gibbings (michellegibbings.com), has a sure-fire four-point strategy to make a good first impression.
“Smile and be friendly, have a firm handshake (but not an iron grip), dress professionally – matching the type of job you are applying for, and be on time for the interview,” she says. All seemingly quite simple steps, but some are often missed!
DO YOUR RESEARCH
It’s a given that employers prefer to hire people with a sincere desire to work for them.
