When you are being interviewed it is very important that you give out the right signals. First impressions are really important. Greet your interviewer smiling and give a firm handshake. Follow simple advice, wear smart business attire (unless instructed otherwise).  If you have any doubts wear a suit, it is better to be overdressed than underdressed.  Avoid white socks, novelty ties, and do not wear inappropriate jewellery.

Throughout the interview, speak in a clear tone of voice and with confidence.  You should always look attentive.  Good eye contact is essential and will make communicating with your interviewer easier.  Do not slouch in your chair or lean too far back, sit upright.  Use moderate hand movements and avoid crossing your arms. Try to relax as much as you can but don’t get too informal as you are being assessed for the duration of the interview.  It is important to be friendly but don’t go too far, always maintain professionalism.  Be really positive and enthusiastic throughout the interview.  Avoid negativity, remember, you’re selling yourself!
