Here are a few things you can do to make life a little easier for yourself.

• Take documentary evidence of success with you (enough copies for yourself and each interviewer) but only provide them if it is appropriate.
• If you are asked to give a presentation – find out as much as possible beforehand such as…
  • What is the title and expected length of presentation
  • Who is the audience and what number?
  • What is the expected format, or are any visual aids required e.g. Powerpoint, acetates, whiteboard, etc?
  • What are they looking for in a presenter?
• At the end of the interview ask if there is any point that they would like clarifying.
• Don’t forget to ask for some instant feedback – ‘How did I do?’ or ‘Where do we go from here?’
• How about following up your interview with a letter thanking your interviewer for their time and reiterating your suitability for the role.
• If you were not successful – Don’t be disheartened – it wasn’t the right one for you. But it is worth a call to get feedback – you may get some useful advice as to where you could improve for the next time when you WILL be successful
• If you were successful – GREAT – but don’t tell your current boss what you think of them just yet! Wait for your official offer by post before you do anything.
