Interview Tips
Interviews test both first impressions and communication clarity. A small amount of preparation and a strong narrative can move you forward. Build a short plan to present your strengths clearly.
Before the interview
- Identify overlap between the role and your experience
- Prepare 1-2 concrete examples for each CV section
- Write a single-sentence answer to "Why this role?"
Use the STAR method
When telling a story:
- S: Situation
- T: Task
- A: Action
- R: Result
This structure keeps your story focused and strong.
On interview day
- Join on time and check your setup early
- Keep a short list of notes nearby
- Answer briefly, then wrap up if you go long
Closing and follow-up
At the end:
- Ask: "How is success measured in this role?"
- Send a short thank-you message afterward
Closing
An interview is not a test; it is a mutual fit check. Preparation, clear storytelling, and a confident close make a real difference.
