Top Tips

Be prepared for the unexpected. It often happens that there is an aspect of the job you had not considered. If you are asked about this, admit you had not considered it in depth – offer it back to the interviewer by asking questions about the subject. As soon as you can, turn the emphasis onto another aspect of the role that you feel positive about.

Never, ever embellish the truth in your job application, no matter how well you think you can cover it up.  It only takes a quick phone call for the interviewer to discover that your First in Biochemistry from Oxford is actually a NVQ in Food Science from your local community college.  Highlight the positives in your CV, and don’t include blatant lies – even in the section on your leisure activities.

Try not to monopolise the meeting – let your interviewer talk. If they do not tell you, find out what are the key parts of the candidate specification so you can show how you meet them.

“I did this then that” can be clumsy. Use bullet points, starting with a verb instead. For example, “Achieved 100% of my sales targets”, sounds more dynamic. Explain any career gaps (for family, studying or travelling) in your CV but not if you were made redundant. Plus, add relevant voluntary work or refresher courses that show you have kept your skills up to date.
