Four Tips for a First Job Interview

A job interview is always stressful, and it is even more so for a first job applicant. These four tips will put all the advantages on your side.

Research the Company

You don't have to spend hours researching the company, and you don't have to learn anything by heart. All you need is general knowledge.

  • Who they are
  • What they do
  • The type of product or service they supply
  • National and international presence

If the company has a website, it's a good idea to visit it. You don't have to become an expert on the company, but at least have a general idea of who they are.

The First Contact

A job offer can sometime depend on the first impression.

Yes, we all know how to say hello and good bye. At my first interview I stammered as I greeted the interviewer, and tripped as I left. Stressed is not strong enough to describe how I felt.

Role play greeting the interviewer and saying good bye with a friend Practice shaking hands and smiling. This may seem childish, but it works.

Dress Correctly

The best advice anyone can give you about dressing correctly for a job interview is: dress is if you already had the job.

Arrive On Time

Arriving on time is part of making a good first impression. If the job interview is worth going to, then it's being on time.
