Find below a few interview tips courtesy of FullerCV.

  • Research the company products, staff, culture, clients and competitors.
  • Ensure you know the correct name of your interviewer and job title.
  • Read over your CV, making sure you know it back to front.
  • Do not interrupt your interviewer and give a steady handshake when entering.
  • Unless prompted do not ask what the salary/benefits will be if this is the first interview.
  • Have your CV, references and any additional information requested, to hand.
  • Conservative dress is preferred but check with the culture of the office too - wear smart attire and ensure your shoes are shiny and well kept.
  • View a map and plan your journey in advance, allowing for delayed trains and accidents.
