Interview Tips

Tip 1: Do your homework

We expect candidates to take the time to do some research and learn about us. Since you are here on this site, you obviously find value in this too. Take a look around and learn as much as you can. Being prepared will also minimize your anxiety.

 

Tip 2: Make an impact

Dress for the occasion. Recent trends have dictated business-casual attire, but it is still appropriate to wear a business suit. If you mean business, show us. And remember…it's not always what you say, but how you present yourself that makes an impression. Be sure to shake hands firmly and maintain eye contact. 

 

Tip 3: Be confident

You don't want to appear too nervous. At the same time, don't be too relaxed. Maintain an appropriate level of professionalism without being unapproachable. The best advice is to be yourself. We're looking for individuals who will thrive in our team-based environment.

 

Tip 4: Ask questions

When you want to learn more about who we are and what we do, it lets us know you're interested. Depending on what you ask, it may also prove you've done your homework. Before the interview, make sure you've prepared a list of questions that we may not have addressed.

 

Tip 5: Sell yourself

Your qualifications got you in the door. Make sure you can speak confidently about any experiences you've had in the workplace and in the classroom. Specific examples of how you've contributed to an organisation or learned something exciting are of interest to us. We see potential in you, so be sure to sell yourself by promoting your skills and abilities.

 

Tip 6: Get clarification

If you don't understand a question, don't hesitate...ask us to repeat it. You have a better shot at giving your best answer if you know exactly what we're asking.
