The job market is competitive in Australia, which means there can be several hundred people applying for the same position.
If you do get selected for a job interview, you're one step closer to your goal.
Marg Davis is the career development coordinator at AMES, says that preparation is the key factor to succeed at a job interview.
Tim James is a state managing director at Hays, the largest recruitment firm in Australia, says :” You should also carefully read the job description and highlight keywords that you can use during the interview. Try to understand what the employer is looking for and plan how you would answer potential questions.
Experts add other important tips. How you'll dress will depend on the industry. Mirror the dress code of the company, and make sure you look the part. Business attire like a suit and a tie are expected in some industries, while a more casual, but still smart outfit, will do for others.
You should have found out about the dress code during your research, but if you're still unsure, you can always inquire by calling reception.
No matter where you're interviewed, you'll need to be well-groomed and have clean shoes and clothes.
On the day of the interview, make sure to arrive five to ten minutes early so you don't feel rushed.
