Even though we are going through tough economic times, companies are still recruiting and HR Oasis would like to share its hints in making your interview successful.
1. Prepare, prepare, prepare! We cannot stress this enough. Do research the company thoroughly - we have access to so much information on the internet so there is no excuse!
2. Anticipate questions that the company will ask about your previous jobs and qualifications. Prepare and practice your answers.
3. Think and write down questions you want to ask at the interview.
4. Take copies of your up-to-date CV (see our earlier blog about tips on CV writing).
5. Check the dress code for your interview as most companies expect you to dress smartly in a suit.
6. Be punctual. Arrive about 15 minutes before your appointment. If you are going to be late call your interviewer to make them aware.
7. Always shake hands with your interviewer firmly and with a confident smile. Weak handshakes are a definite no-no!
8. Relax and be yourself. The interviewer is probably just as anxious as you!
9. Listen to the questions being asked to you. If you are unsure, ask the interviewer to repeat the question again.
10. Upon leaving, shake hands firmly and thank the interviewer for their time.
For mock interviews and further advice about any of the above please contact us at enquiries@hroasis.co.uk or call us at 0203 239 0694.

Francesca took lots of time to talk through my career history, drawing out my achievements, interests and the information which is important to potential employers. The result is a professional looking CV which summarises my career history in a readable way. Thanks for your help Francesca.

I hired Francesca to take care of the HR agenda for our UK based business units. She rapidly established a strong rapport with the senior management team and was very well appreciated by our UK based staff for her quality of service and competent advice. I experienced her as a hard working team player with a great level of integrity, profound professionalism and a well developed sense for fair play. Martin Haitzmann, Global HR Leader, GoIndustry.
Francesca was my key contact in the UK for a global technology implementation at AECOM, and she was a pleasure to work with. She was also involved in managing an optimization effort on the technology once it was implemented. Francesca was extremely busy with other activities during this project, as was the team she was working with. However, she was always able to complete her deliverables on time and with very high quality. Her participation in this project was a key factor to its success. Andy Rice, Consulting Director, The Newman Group.
