Before

• Dress smartly and conservatively. Formal dark coloured suit (no leather or denim garments), neatly manicured nails and smart, clean shoes. Keep jewellery to a minimum.
• Take your CV and an A to Z. Leave for the interview in good time. If you are late, do apologise. When you meet your interviewer shake hands firmly, look them in the eye, call them Mr, Miss or Mrs unless they invite you to do otherwise, and smile.
• Answer questions, concisely, honestly and avoid getting side tracked.
• If you are asked what ROC told you about the company or job, do not say, “nothing”, a short sentence will suffice. If you are not sure about the job content ask your consultant again.
• Ensure you have a good understanding of what the company does. Again ask your consultant. Most companies are on the Internet - it impresses interviewers if you have done your ‘homework!”
