Re: Interviewing
*Research the company well.
*Try and find out what type of phone interview it will be. E.g. mine was competency based. So I researched those types of interviews online and got a wealth of information.
*Also try and search online for student forums/local forums which may have other peoples experiences on them too. The company I went for was very well known so again there was a wealth of information.
*Try to remain composed yet friendly in your tone.
*It is good to follow up on interviews to get feedback. It will add to experience and you will learn more on how to present yourself and give the 'right' answers'.
- At an interview, take an active interest in asking questions. For my first few interviews, I start like a statue and said I did not want to know anything. Then as I got more comfortable with the whole interview structure, I began asking more questions eg. will I have to do training? Is their potential for me to study further with this role? etc
*Always smile and be friendly. Shake their hand and be warm towards them.
