How early do I need to be if I have an interview?

5 minutes early is ideal. If you are too early, this can disrupt the interviewer’s day plan and make them feel rushed. Although it is definitely better to be early rather than late.

How to address the pay question in interviews?

 

Pay will always come up eventually but never ask about remuneration in the first interview. Leave it to at least the 2nd or 3rd. If you are using a recruiter, it is best to ask them first before asking the company directly.

At the end of the interview, they usually ask if I have any questions for them. What do I say?

Depending on whether they have covered it during the interview, it is always a good idea to ask some questions about the team dynamic, the company culture etc. This will give you a better understanding of if the company is right for you, which is just as important as if the job is right for you.

How do I answer personal questions in interviews?

This question is asked so interviewers can peel back some layers and get to know the person behind the “corporate suit”. If you feel comfortable, answer the question honestly, i.e. I enjoy running marathons or relaxing by the beach with friends and family. If you eventually get the job, they will most likely find out these things about you then anyway. Be careful not to share information about yourself that could create a negative unconscious bias towards you… Such as if you like to go boxing… be careful that you are not sharing this with someone who hates boxing.

What will the interviewer ask me during the interview?

Every interview is different but come prepared to talk about who you are and what your career goals/next steps are. Be open and honest about your strengths and abilities. Never lie. Research the company you are being interviewed by as the interviewer may ask you certain questions about them.

How do I behave in group interviews?

 

Ensure everyone has a chance to speak and do not speak over someone. Use your time wisely and try to think of a different way of answering a question compared to the others in the room. Stand out without being invasive. Site bullet points and be punchy, show that you are a quick and agile thinker.
