Prospective Employer Interview
- Keep all of the points within Interview Tips in mind.
- Don’t initiate discussion about remuneration at the first interview, however, certainly be open and honest if the interviewer asks.
Be positive
- Don’t make disparaging remarks about colleagues, past or present employers. It is unprofessional and you don’t know if your interviewer knows the person/company you are talking about!
Ask for the Job
- If you are genuinely interested, say so! Enthusiasm and a clear desire to work for the prospective employer could be the difference between you and another candidate – with similar skills and background – making the shortlist.
Adieu
- Leave your prospective employer with a positive impression.
- When the interview is wrapping up, make a few concise comments to recap some of the highlights of the conversation.
- Also, reiterate your strengths that are important to success within in the role.
- You will generally be escorted to the reception area at the end of the interview. Don’t relax just yet. Smile, make eye contact and give a firm handshake. Thank them (by name) for their time.
