- Turn up on time - check travel details, if using public transport.
- Turn up in the right place. If needed, double-check which of the company's offices you're traveling to.
- If traveling by car, double-check directions.
- Look smart. You only get one chance to make a first impression and you will feel more relaxed if you know you are looking your best. Make sure you know what to wear.
- Re-read your notes before the interview.
- Re-read the job advert and your working notes the night before the interview. Doing it just before you go to bed helps the information sink in at a subconscious level, making it easier to remember answers the next day.
- Re-read your CV / Resume the morning of the interview and take a copy with you.
- Write a checklist of what to take with you and review it. Make sure you include:
- Contact details, in case you're delayed
- CV / application form
- Pen & notepaper
- List of questions to ask the interviewer
- Mobile phone, if you have one. (Switch off during interview)
- Watch
- Tissues
- Any emergency items you'd usually carry
