Interviews can be nerve-wracking. Some people find them easy and are naturals at them. Others, have a more difficult time. They\u2019re not there to catch you out, however. They just want to see who you are and get to know you more personally. Here are 8 interview tips that will help get you the job.<\/p>\n

1. Plan your outfit the night before.<\/h2>\n

Make it as easy as possible for yourself and plan out the outfit the day before so that you have an easier, stress-free morning. It will make you feel calmer and you can even try out a few options until you find the perfect clothes. You don\u2019t have to necessarily where black trousers and a white shirt like you\u2019re back in school. You can experiment with patterned shirts, skirts and tights, whatever you feel comfortable in. Make an effort, that\u2019s all they want from you.<\/p>\n

\n<\/h6>\n

2. Research the company beforehand.<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s always a useful interview tip to research the company you\u2019re being interviewed by. Get to know their current projects, see the staff list and who could be interviewing you, it\u2019ll make you feel more prepared and will make them believe that you are dedicated to getting the job. The more effort the better. Some companies will provide their own interview tips too, it\u2019s a way to help you understand what they\u2019re looking for and for you to make sure it\u2019s a company you\u2019re happy to work with.<\/p>\n

3. Try to smile when you arrive. Don\u2019t let the nerves control you.<\/h2>\n

First impressions can be key. Always smile and look welcoming. You want them to know that you\u2019re easy to work with and are happy to be there. They\u2019ll understand that you\u2019ll be nervous, it\u2019s natural. But don\u2019t sit there quiet and frowning because you\u2019re scared, it\u2019s not a great impression and can make them feel awkward too.<\/p>\n

4. Take your time and pause before you answer. You\u2019re allowed to think before you give a response.<\/h2>\n

The questions aren\u2019t there to catch you out. They want to know how creative you can be and what skills you possess. Perhaps avoid \u2018um-ing\u2019 and \u2018argh-ing\u2019 but a good interview tip is that you can stop to think before you answer, they even welcome it! They want you to give the best answer possible and they will wait to hear it. You don\u2019t have to answer immediately, give yourself a little bit of time to think. They\u2019ll appreciate it and it\u2019ll calm you down further.<\/p>\n

5. Don\u2019t be afraid to ask questions. Maybe even plan some before you go in.<\/h2>\n

Once you\u2019ve done some research, plan out a couple of questions. You are most likely allowed to take a notebook with you so write them down. Open up the page at the end so that even if they answered them already, they can see that you were curious and organised. Employers appreciate it when you\u2019re interested in the company, so prove that you are. Avoid questions about pay though, doesn\u2019t always look good asking about that if it\u2019s already clearly stated. Don\u2019t get greedy!<\/p>\n

\n<\/h6>\n

6. Ask someone to take you if you\u2019re too nervous.<\/h2>\n

A good interview tip is to plan the journey in advance. If you think you\u2019ll be too nervous to drive yourself or to take public transport, ask a friend or family member to take you. It takes the pressure off of yourself and can be a great support. They can either help you out on the journey, ask you questions or quiz you on the company, or, if that makes you feel worse, they can just be there to take your mind off of it. They\u2019ll want to be supportive, let them, it does help. The calmer you are, the better you\u2019ll be able to think.<\/p>\n

7. If you feel fidgety, move your feet instead.<\/h2>\n

One interview tip I was given by an employer, was to stop fidgeting with my hands and to use my feet or toes. Fidgeting is understandable but can be a red flag if done too often. By wiggling your toes, you\u2019ll hide your nerves whilst also getting them out in a safe and professional way.<\/p>\n

\n<\/h6>\n

8. Breathe! They understand it\u2019s not easy.<\/h2>\n

Most employers are actually incredibly nice. They\u2019ll want you to feel comfortable and understand that interviews aren\u2019t always easy. Breathe before you go in. Focus on it, allow yourself a minute to compose yourself. They want the interview to go well just as much as you do, remember that.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Believe in yourself. If this one doesn\u2019t work out, it\u2019s experience for the next. Take in as many interview tips as possible and prepare for the day. You’ve got this! What are your\u00a0interview tips? Tell us in the comments!<\/h5>\n
