Ace Your Interview: Top Tips from the Retail Perms Team at Four Seasons:
- Think of a question to ask about the Company e.g. what is it like working there? Make sure it isn’t about salary or Company benefits! And - research your interviewer if you can! (Angela)
- Never underestimate the power of body language – always start with a firm handshake, smile and make eye contact. Avoid nervous or bored body movements such as fiddling with pens/ touching your hair or crossing and uncrossing your legs, all of these things will give the impression that you are not listening! (Lydia)
- Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to get there and arrive on time. Being late gives a bad first impression. (Kate)
- Dress to impress and always smile! (Amber)
- You must research the brand and be prepared! And tip top grooming is essential - first impressions count. (Laura)
- Always draw upon actual examples from your own experience, don’t just talk in general terms, no one wants to hear a textbook answer. (Bene)
- Candidates should have specific examples of key achievements and once again, maintain good eye contact and smile. (Anna)
RELAX AND ENJOY YOURSELF (All)
