Top 5 Job Interview Tips
September 30, 2013
Congratulations! You have
secured a face to face interview
with a potential new employer.
So what do you need to do? These
handy hints will help you leave a
lasting impression:
• Do your research: Find
out about the Pharmacy you
want to work for. Make sure
you understand the position
you are applying for, the team
environment and the organisation
so you can converse with
confidence.
• Practice your answers: There
are some questions that you can
almost guarantee will crop up. You
should prepare answers to some
of the most common interview
questions about your strengths
and weaknesses, as well as being
able to explain why you would be
the best person for the job.
• Dress for success: In an
interview, first impressions do
matter. The best way to ensure a
good first impression is to dress
professionally - good personal
hygiene is also important.
• Remain Calm: Ensure you have
the correct address and time of
the interview, as well as the full
name and position of the person/s
that will be interviewing you. On
the day, turn up 5-10 minutes prior
to the interview. Remember to
speak clearly, smile and keep in
mind that your interviewers may
be nervous too.
• Ask Questions: You should
always have some questions for
your interviewer to demonstrate
your interest in the position.
Prepare some which will give you
more information about the job,
and some which delve deeper into
their culture and goals.
