Good news! You’ve been offered an interview at a company you’re interested in.
Perhaps you need a job, in which case you will already be highly motivated to
win an offer of employment, or perhaps you’ve been approached out of the blue,
and offered a chance to meet someone who’s interested in you. It may be that you
are happy and securely employed, but your curiosity has been aroused. After all,
what have you got to lose by attending the interview? You’re certain to learn
something that may be of use in the future, and in the ideal world, it could
lead to the job of a lifetime.

In any case, in choosing to go to an interview, your aim should always be to win
a job offer, and you should always do everything in your power to achieve that.

Even if you harbour some doubts about the opportunity, you should still ‘play to
win’: it’ll be good interview practice, you’ll learn from the experience, make
new acquaintances which might be useful in the future, and who knows, you might
be wrong!

In order to win out, you must remember that the interview is a sales situation.
In this case you are the salesperson, and you are the product! You should treat
the interview the same way that a sales person approaches his or her meetings.
You must find out as much as you can about the employer’s requirements, and then
to sell yourself effectively – explaining exactly what strengths you can bring
to the employer, and the benefits that the employer will enjoy by employing you.

And most importantly, you must demonstrate your salesmanship by ‘asking for the
order’ and closing the interview properly, by expressing enthusiasm and actually
asking for the job.

Preparing for the interview

It is perfectly natural and certainly expected that you may be nervous; it’s
probably even desirable – a little adrenaline usually makes you perform better,
and prevents you from appearing ‘laid back’ and showing a ‘take it or leave it’
attitude. However, you won’t want to appear too nervous, and preparation is the
best way to reduce anxiety, and maximise your chances of achieving your goal at
the same time.

Too many people go to interviews without any real preparation, expecting merely
to answer questions asked of them, ‘off the cuff’. Proper preparation will
enable you to give a much better impression of your true capabilities, and also
to find out more about the company, and the position you are applying to.

Do some research into the type of work that will be involved. Read a book or two
on the subject, and have one in your briefcase on the day of the interview. In
the case of sales, try to arrange to ‘shadow’ a sales person in the industry, or
at least to talk to someone about the subject. You are almost certain to be
asked the question ‘What do you know about this type of work?’

Do some research on the company – telephone them for a brochure or annual
report, explaining if you are asked, why you want it. If you know the name of
the interviewer, ask for their department. Don’t worry if you find yourself
speaking to the interviewer; they are always impressed that you are doing proper
research, and it helps to break the ice when you finally meet them.

Otherwise, information can be found in directories in any college or public
library. The internet is a useful source of information – most companies have a
website, and they will usually ask you at the interview, if you have looked at
it. Companies House in London or Cardiff may be able to supply financial
information about the company. Find out about the company’s competitors. Try to
talk to some of their customers. In many cases, the first question asked at an
interview is ‘What do you know about us?’

Find out who you will be meeting when you get there. Find out the interviewer’s
full name and its proper pronunciation, and their title. You may be able to find
out a little about what they are like, and what they expect from an interviewee.
If you speak to the interviewer’s P.A. when you telephone for a brochure, he or
she might be able to help you.

Prepare the questions you will be asking during the interview. Ask questions to
illustrate ‘the big picture’ and don’t bother with small detail. Have these
questions written down – use a pad, clipboard or filofax.

Good questions to ask might be:

What is the interviewing procedure, and who makes the hiring decision, and when?
What is the history of the company?
What are its future plans for growth and development?
What exactly does the job involve?
What will be expected of me? What goals will I be expected to achieve?
What training/help/backup will be given to me in order to achieve those goals?
What are the prospects for advancement when I have successfully achieved those
goals?

As in chess, think two moves ahead! These questions may well be turned around on
you: Where would you like this job to lead?

One word of caution – at first interview, do not overdo the questions. If the
interviewer asks if you have any questions, a sure way to dismay him is to dive
into your briefcase and enthusiastically pull out a long list as if you were
taking an inventory of the Titanic. Detail questions about hours of work,
holidays, and expenses should not be asked at first interview. These would
probably be covered at a second interview anyway and would give the impression
that short hours and long holidays may be high on your agenda!

Prepare a briefcase with everything you need, including the information about
the company that you have gathered, a job description if you have been given
one, several copies of your CV., a notepad with your questions written down on,
a pen, a calculator, directions/map.

Telephone your Consultant the night before the interview to make sure nothing
has changed. Ask if they have had any feedback from other candidates interviewed
by the company, what questions they were asked, and any preferences the
interviewer might have, if they are known.


Presentation

Many an interviewee has ruined his or her chances by poor presentation. Ask your
Consultant beforehand about the style of the company you are visiting.
Alternatively, ask the interviewer’s P.A. when you telephone in advance doing
your research. If you have time and are able to observe the company before the
day of the interview, you can see for yourself how the people there tend to dress.

But in most cases, you won’t go far wrong if you adopt a neutral presentation
style – conservative and businesslike. No casual clothes!

Men should have tidy hair, and trim beards and moustaches neatly. Wear a dark or
grey two piece business suit (unless attending a job as a stockbroker or an
undertaker when waistcoats are mandatory!), white or pastel shirt, coordinated
tie, dark socks, clean black shoes. Make sure your hands and nails are clean.

Men: No jewelry (one ring OK), NO piercings. Women: Limited, considered jewelry.

Women should also dress in a tailored and conservative style. If a skirt is
worn, so should tights.

In both cases, the purpose is to not raise any questions by your attire.


The day of the interview

Make sure you have no other commitments on the day – you don’t want to appear
distracted if the interview takes longer than you imagined (in fact, the
opposite should be true – it’s usually a good sign!)

Find out exactly where the company is locate
