Attire |
| First impressions are extremely important and your attire is the first thing an interviewer will notice. As a rule of the thumb always dress as you expect your interviewers to be dressed. Avoid flashy or revealing garments and stick to conservative colours (dark blue, black, grey). Make sure that your clothes are pressed and your shoes are clean. If you are not certain about the dress code ask. |
| |
Be on time |
| Always plan to arrive at an interview ten minutes early. This will give you time to familiarize yourself with your surroundings and collect your thoughts. Whether you are a seasoned professional or fresh out of university, job interviews are always stressful. Try to relax and mentally review your answers to possible questions you may be asked. Last but not least arriving early will show that you value other people's time and you are punctual with your appointments. |
