10. Job Interview
Preparation
Below is a list of things to focus
on ahead of the interview
Interviews are always different: some are formal,
others informal. The most important thing is to enjoy
it, relax and be you.
That said, an interview is like any other meeting – so
do as much preparation as you can in advance.
Interview Preparation
The interview is your best opportunity to gain insight
into the job position on offer and the company. It
also gives you a good opportunity to determine how
your experience and talent can contribute to the
company’s growth and profitability.
Web: http://www.corecruitment.com/
job-seeker-advice/how-to-prepare-for-
the-interview/
Below is a list of things to focus on
ahead of the interview:
About The Company
Prior to the interview
Find out as much about the company,
its history, its current situation
and its future as you can. Search
websites, trade magazines, the library, news articles,
annual reports, friends and business associates
(remembering to keep the position confidential).
>> Read More
At The Interview
Be prepared to ask well thought out and sensible
questions about the company and its direction.
About The Position
Prior To The Interview
Find out as much as you can about the position:
research what is expected in that role: its duties and
responsibilities.
At The Interview
Be prepared to ask sensible questions: who has
been successful and why? Who has failed and why?
Who will you report to? What needs to be done
in the first six months, in the first year? What does
success look like for the role? Your recruiter will be
able to provide insight in these areas prior to the
interview also.
Submit Your CV

11. Know Yourself
Prior To The Interview
Ensure you know the contents of your CV
thoroughly. Review you career history: paying
particular importance to the dates, positions you
held, duties and responsibilities. Concentrate on
your most recent positions, but don’t neglect your
early career.
>> Read More
At The Interview
Be prepared to answer questions on your strengths
and weaknesses. During the interview try to
highlight past experience, solutions your have
found or achievements that would be relevant and
beneficial to this particular role / company. It’s the
perfect time to ‘sell’ you!
Information Needed
Prior To The Interview
1. Who you will be meeting and the date & time of
the interview
2. Company name, interviewer / title, full address,
phone number, clear directions and where to
park or the nearest mainline or tube station
At The Interview
You should take along some well-prepared
& neatly presented questions in a tidy folder
or note pad. You could also take these on
an iPad if preferred. This shows that you are
methodical, organised, have given thought to
the interview and that company. Remember
to take a copy of your own CV to the interview. You
can use this as a prompt if needed in the interview.
Think about anything else that might be relevant to
take to the interview (these could be past menus you
have created or other examples of past work).
What To Do & Avoid
By the time you have got to an interview, that
interviewer knows your background and has
considered your ability to do the job. The interview
is not just based on the role but on personality, will
you fit in, say the right things, will they like you etc.
• Don’t be late and do get there early
• Dress appropriately: smart & well presented
• Keep jewellery to a minimum
• Clean shoes – remember to check yourself in a
full length mirror
• Do not smoke before the interview – the smell
will linger and doesn’t create a great first
impression
• FIRM handshake and clear greeting
• Maintain eye-to-eye contact throughout the
interview – If a panel of interviewers; look at all
of them in turn. When one asks a question, look
at them to begin you answer, look at the others
during your answer & finish with the one who
asked

12. Job Interview
Preparation (cont)
• Keep your voice volume up, but don’t shout.
• Body language is very important: face the
interviewer, keep upright and don’t slouch
Interviewing Skills
• In order to sell yourself you must know what the
interviewer wants. Highlight your skills, strengths
in a precise manner
• Give a short 1-2 minute summary about yourself.
• Start with what you are doing now, your current
job (mentioning the skills that are comparable
and complementary to the job you are applying
for). Talk about your strengths / attributes,
education and hobbies, interests, sporting
activity etc.
• Ensure you greet everyone with firm handshake
& a smile – often a team is asked what did you
think of him / her
• Make conversation if you’re waiting in reception
• Make conversation with the person who collects
you.
• Get them to buy into you – sell yourself to
everyone and be professional, friendly, amenable
etc
Standard Questions
(They are not always easy to answer)
• Where do you see yourself in one / five / 10 years
time?
• What are your strengths? E.g. Tenacious, hard-
working, diligent, good market knowledge
• What are your weaknesses? (Always turn a
strength into a weakness .e.g. perfectionists find
it hard to delegate)
• Most significant accomplishment / biggest
disappointment
• Hobbies. Employers like to know what their staff
does socially / outside work. Keep fit / golf etc
Further Examples
>> Read More
Difficult Questions
• Current income / on target earnings
• What salary you do want?
• Reasons for leaving? Do not put your current
company down, or the people that you work
with e.g. personality clash could be seen a cause
for concern. Focus on things such as need a new
challenge and new focus or want to specialise
etc rather than ‘I don’t like my boss’.
• What is your ideal role?
• What aspects of your work do you enjoy best /
dislike (you could be caught out so ensure you
know the role you are going for – it sounds a
harmless question but has caught many out)
• What do you consider your greatest achievement
to date
Submit Your CV

13. Other Potential Questions You
May Be Asked
• Why do you want to work for us? (Whatever
company it is – be sure to have done your
research)
• How will you benefit the company if we hire
you? What can you bring? (Skills wise, not
necessarily business / clients as some may see
this as unethical)
• How have you impacted on you current
company?
• How much do you know about our company?
(research always pays off, ask intelligent
questions)
• What new ideas could you bring to the
company?
• What motivates / de-motivates you?
• What are your ambitions?
• How you work in a team / on your own? Give
examples of being a team player, working on
own initiative
• How you motivate staff / delegate work?
• How you would increase current business level?
• What levels of business do you work? on e.g.
margins, major accounts etc?
• How would your colleagues describe you?
• What style of management do
you best work under / your style
of management?
• How do you manage your team?
• Who are your role models & why?
Good Questions For You To Ask
• Can you give me a breakdown of the duties and
responsibilities?
• What is the usual structure of a day / week?
• What are the expected productivity levels /
targets?
• What are your immediate expectations of the
jobholder?
• What training / mentor schemes do you run?
• What can you tell me about the company (start
question with some knowledge of the Co. or
they can throw it back asking you what you
know) For instance. I know the company was
established in???? Year & is headed by ……
Number of properties having developed from ??
What else can you tell me / what are your future
plans?
• What are the initial tasks /duties that I will have
to deal with / get trained in?
• How is the business generally at the moment?
• Where does the company see itself in the next
1 & 5 years and where would you see me then.
Is there anything about my background or skills
that you have concerns about or anything you
would like to cover again with me while I am
here?”

14. • What is your normal interview process?
• Will there be a second / third interview as I am
interested and want to make sure I am available.
• When do you think the next interviews will be
held? &
• Where / when are you planning to hold 2nd
interviews?
• Do you do psychometric & personality testing /
assessment centres (may have to take ½ day off
for this.
• Have you seen many people?
• How do I compare to your other candidates?
How To Handle The Money Issue
The question of remuneration can be very sensitive
and often requires extended negotiations to
reach a figure that is fair and acceptable to both
the company and the individual. Some points to
remember:
Most companies want to make a fair offer. They
want to bring new employees on board at a salary
level that provides incentive to change jobs that
also is consistent with the company’s existing salary
structure for that position.
The days of 20% and 25% increases in
compensation are gone. Inflation rates are down,
all corporations are more conscious of maintaining
consistency in existing salary structures, the
economic growth in many industries has levelled
off and the competition for better positions has
increased. So be realistic in your expectations.
The position and opportunity is the single most
important element of your decision. No amount of
money will make a bad job good. A quality position,
working with quality people in a dynamic work
environment offers rewards that money can’t buy.
Be flexible. Compensation packages are a
combination of salary, reviews, titles and perks.
These elements can be arranged and re-arranged
– sometimes very creatively – to satisfy both the
individual and the company.
Keep your recruiter involved. Part of our job is to
handle sensitive negotiations and move both parties
to a fair and acceptable compensation package. We
do this for a living and can often offer alternatives
that will satisfy both parties.
