The 5Ps for a successful interview

The in-person interview directly at our clients can be a stressful time, but with the 5P rule, you can’t go wrong. Preparing well for your interview will put the odds in your favor.

The most important P is being PREPARED

• review previous positions and dates on your resume
• know the job and the company which you are interviewing by (job description and company’s website)
• use the elements of the job description to highlight your skills according to the tasks and skills required

Being on time is not being PUNCTUAL

• arrive or connect 5-10 minutes early
• check that your computer/phone’s camera and microphone are working properly

Interview = PRESENTATION

• dress according to the job you want
• look awake and styled

Politeness

• say hello, introduce yourself and thank the interlocutor for having this interview with you
• maintain a good relationship with the interview representative
• avoid inappropriate words and noisy environment

Do not underestimate the PRE-INTERVIEW

• the telephone interview is an important step in the recruitment process since it allows the employer to make a first approach with you and see if you can meet their needs
• if you are called at a bad time, let them know and plan a new call at another time
