Almost everything about the job seeking process can be stressful, but nothing quite gets people sweating than sitting for an interview.<\/p>\n
The interview process is typically one of the middle to latter steps of getting a new job, and can be fundamental in the success of any application.<\/p>\n
Your CV checks out, and the company is interested in finding out more about you – and possibly putting you on the spot to test how you handle certain situations. This can really take it out of you.<\/p>\n
BusinessTech spoke to a recruitment expert to get some tips on how to be better equipped to handle an interview – and it boils down to three P’s:\u00a0Prepare, Plan and Practice.<\/p>\n
The first step is to prepare – which includes finding out as much as you can about the company interviewing you, so you can better come across as informed, and interested in the position.<\/p>\n
The next stage is planning. You should organize your day so that you can on time for the interview (while still being respectful of your current employment situation) – and how you will come across at the interview.<\/p>\n
