The Descent

"Working together, we understand that your needs are unique in your job search. That's why we pride ourselves on giving you as much information as possible prior to your interview."
Angus Chisholm, Managing Director, C&M Travel Recruitment

Preparing for take off

Be prepared! Refamiliarise yourself with your CV and re-read all of the company information you have researched or been given 10 minutes before your interview.

Don't be late! Allow plenty of time for your journey, as it's always better to arrive early and wait, than late and in a panic. Find the best route before passport to a new career

you travel and take a map.

First impressions count. Your appearance speaks volumes before you've even said a word, so make sure it's saying the right things about you. It's important to look well groomed and smart, with a suit, or suit and tie for male candidates, recommended. Keep jewellery and make-up discreet.

Body talk says a lot about you. Ponder your posture for a moment; sit up straight, look alert, focussed and interested in what the interviewer has to say. Start and close the interview with a firm, confident handshake, maintain eye contact throughout, keep an open stance (no folded arms, pen twiddling or hair fiddling!) and remember to smile. These small things can make a big difference and help you to come across in a more genuine, relaxed and friendly way.

You're unique, so be yourself. You're bound to be a bit nervous at the interview, but always try to be yourself. The interviewer is likely to have seen several people within a short space of time and will be able to see through any false performances.

HOT TIP!

Don't forget, an interview is a two way street: for them to find out about you and for you to find out about them!
