If you are currently in the process of looking for work then you may of already been invited to at least one job interview. Most employers like to interview candidates prior to offering them the job as you cannot always tell just from a CV what a person is like and whether you think they would fit well in to your business.

If you have applied for a job and be selected for an interview, then this is your chance to shine. An interview is often your one and only chance to show the interviewer what you are capable of and why they should hire you. With the recent coronavirus outbreak, many people have found themselves without a job so jobs are currently in high competition. Some employers will look for even the smallest reason to discount you from a long list of candidates, something which you don’t want to happen. Make sure you arrive in good time for your interview and dress smartly. Even if you will be wearing casual clothes on the job, it is a good idea to slightly over dress.

The first few minutes of an interview are crucial and can often be make or break. The first impressions you make are important and will often influence the rest of the interview.
