一个工程师在英国的面试经历
Stay calm, think clearly and don’t let tricky questions and being under pressure put you off your stride.
PreparationMake sure you know exactly where the interview will take place, and the name and position of the person you are due to meet. Work out your route in advance and allow a generous margin of error in case of unforeseen circumstances.
Have the telephone number of the company handy so that you can let them know if you are running late as this is generally forgiven whereas unannounced lateness generally isn’t.
Find out approximately how long the interview will take and arrange other appointments accordingly – don’t leave your car on a meter and end up worrying more about being clamped than getting the job.
Research
Where we can, we include company information to help you prepare for your interview and give you a better understanding of the company and the work it produces.
However, you may find that digging a little deeper also boosts your confidence at the interview.
Being even a little knowledgeable demonstrates to the interviewer that you have gone to the trouble to see whether you’d fit into the team and make a successful ‘career’ out of the ‘job’. Make sure you ask intelligent questions but not of the “how much holiday?” variety!
Quiz yourself
Time and again interviewers ask the same general questions in additions to those of a more technical nature. Common are “Why are you interested in this position” “Tell me about your current boss”. “What are the most satisfying/frustrating things about your current employment? “What are your strengths/where do you think your weaknesses lie?” Why do you think we should give you the job?” “Where do you see yourself in 5-10 years time?” Learn them, prepare your answers, practice on friends.
Dress to impressPeople shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but they do, all the same. If you look untidy that’s how you’ll be remembered and first impressions really do count.
Always wear a suit and tie or neat skirt/dress and polish your shoes. Even if you are attending a second interview and you know the organisation allows less formal work dress, maintain a professional/formal approach, as you don’t know who you may happen to meet, the Managing Director perhaps!
It may sound obvious, but be civilised and remember your manners. Shake hands firmly with people you are are introduced to and when you leave. If you are offered a coffee say your pleases and thank yous, but keep it natural.
Be unaggressively assertive
Find the right tone in which to present your positive aspects. You have to talk about your achievements to show you are the right person, but do it without being boastful. Under no circumstances should you spend a significant portion of the interview running down your current employer – this is viewed as negative.
Turn weaknesses into strengths Don’t pretend you haven’t got any weaknesses because everyone has some. On the other hand, don’t do yourself down, because you could be talking your way out of a job. Discuss your weaknesses as though you have recognised them and strive to overcome them. “I used to have bad time management so now I prioritise my workload first thing every morning.” “I like to take control and be involved in everything. I sometimes find it hard to delegate but when I have, the results have been positive”.
