Final interview today!?

Question

Does anybody have any advice or tips for a final interview, i have 2 today and for some reason always seem to get overly nervous at the final stages, especially when there is more than one person interviewing me at once!!(for the record the position is a recruitment consultant)

Answer 1

I know it's easier said than done, but you need to get your nerves under control.

Try to think of it as a "practice" interview, just a way of gaining some experience to polish your interview technique. Try being bolder with your responses than you normally would, at first you'll probably worry that you're overselling yourself, but this is what they want to hear- especially for a job as a recruitment consultant.

If you can make confident, bold statements, then the attitude will soon follow, and you'll start feeling more relaxed about selling yourself in interviews. Don't worry about being interviewed by two people, just keep eye contact with the person that is addressing you at the time, and concentrate on them. If the other person contributes, acknowledge what they have said with a "look and smile" etc, but just forget about the other person, don't even worry about them.

If you don't succeed with these interviews, just put it down to experience and take what you've learnt to your next interview. Best of luck!!
