- Apprenticeships Recruitment
Look Sharp – Select your outfit before the interview. Think about what the job is and then select the best gear for it. Dress to be confident. If you feel good others will notice it too.
Resume – Make sure your resume is organised and well presented. It should show your career objective and any relevant work experience.
Be On Time – Never arrive late. If you prepare properly, you will know where to go and how long it takes to get there. Always allow a bit of extra time for emergencies.
Research The Company – Learn as much as you can about the services and products being offered and who they are directed at. Understanding the company, its customers and competition will give you an edge.
Preparation – Present your resume in a flash folder and always have spare copies and references. Include anything relevant like certificates and school results.
Enthusiasm – Good eye contact, a firm handshake and ready, knowledgeable answers will demonstrate your confidence.
Listen – Give the employer a chance to talk and explain. This will help you respond correctly to questions.
Answer The Questions Asked – Make sure you understand the question and respond with specific information. If you don’t understand the question – say so. Provide examples that highlight your successes and personality while remaining modest.
Ask Questions – Don’t miss the opportunity to get valuable information about the job and company. Your questions will show just how interested you are in the job.
