Thomas Jeffrey: Jobs In Surveying - Property & Construction Recruitment Specialists

It is likely that you may be talking for two thirds of the interview to enable the interviewer to gather information about you. It is important, therefore, that you are precise and detailed with your reply and avoid waffling at all costs. Before answering think `Why have they asked the question and what information are they looking for?` Be positive in your replies and make sure that your conversation flows in a natural manner. As an interviewer there is nothing worse that a candidate who is vague with their reply and who tries to avoid the question. If questions are not answered properly with detail, you will not do yourself justice and may come across as indecisive with a lack of conviction.

	Be prepared for all eventualities
	Arrive in good time (10 minutes before the assigned time is acceptable)
	Dress for the occasion. Be smart, presentable and business like avoiding a flash image
	Don`t wear too much jewellery as this will give off the wrong impression
	Speak clearly and never mumble
	Do not argue with the interviewer
	Be composed and unflustered
	Be yourself and don`t try to be somebody you think the company wants
	Be honest as the interviewer will find out if you are not
	Do not be afraid to express yourself politely
	Enjoy yourself!

We hope you find this guide proves useful in helping you to present yourself in the best "light" and frame of mind.

Good Luck!!
