Preparation is Everything

Search for common interview questions online and plan your answers.
Practice answering questions aloud with friends, family, or a careers adviser.
Use your existing experiences (weekend jobs, societies, volunteering) to demonstrate relevant skills like customer focus or project management.
Prepare thoughtful questions about the role, team, and organization to show genuine interest.
View the interview as a two-way process to assess if the job fits you.

Dress the Part

When unsure, it’s better to be overdressed than underdressed.
Avoid distracting clothing.
Allow plenty of time on the interview day to avoid stress and arrive calm.
Apply the same dress principles for both in-person and virtual interviews.

Shine Online

Review your social media profiles and ensure they present you professionally.
Make personal profiles private if necessary.
Create or update a LinkedIn profile to showcase your experience and build your professional network.

Remember You Can Do It

Feeling nervous is normal; interviewers understand and will help put you at ease. If unsuccessful, consider it a valuable industry contact and learning experience. Stay positive, keep learning, and continue applying.
