So the CV got you in the door, but that’s just the start of it. The face to face interview is where you ‘clinch the deal’. Interviewing well can sometimes be more important than actual relevant career experience as often, the person who interviews best is offered the role over the person with the more relevant career experience.

Remember, once you’re in the door, your CV has done its job, now it’s over to you.

Do Your Homework 

Before entering the interview door make sure you know the background to the company, their key activities and detail about the job in question. Not only will this enable you to relate any relevant experience and knowledge you may have, but it will also demonstrate to the interviewer that you have done some preparation and are taking the whole recruitment process seriously, do not assume that the employer will think you are keen – you must show that through your presentation.

• Access the company’s website
• Request company marketing literature and research the company’s market sector and competition on the internet.
