Whether you're a seasoned professional or entering the job market for the first time, interviews can be nerve-wracking. But with the right preparation, you can walk into any interview with confidence. Here are our top 10 tips based on decades of recruitment experience.
1. Research the company thoroughly — understand their values, recent news, and the role you're applying for. 2. Prepare specific examples using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to demonstrate your skills. 3. Dress appropriately for the company culture — when in doubt, err on the side of smart.
4. Arrive 10-15 minutes early to settle your nerves. 5. Bring copies of your CV and any supporting documents. 6. Listen carefully to each question and take a moment to think before responding. 7. Ask thoughtful questions about the role, team, and company direction.
8. Be honest about your experience — recruiters and hiring managers value authenticity. 9. Follow up with a thank-you email within 24 hours. 10. If you're working with a recruitment agency like Peak Staffing, use your consultant as a resource — we can provide insider knowledge about the company and role that will give you an edge.
