Hints and tips on interview techniques for the perfect av job

Preparation

The interview process begins with preparation. Make sure you know the basics i.e. date, time, address, and the names and job titles of the people interviewing you. Find out as much as possible about the company you are hoping to join. Their website should give you a good background on what the company does, where it sits in the market and the importance of the role you're applying for within the organisation.

The role

Identify the key competencies of the job and think of examples in previous roles where you have demonstrated these. Think about what questions might be asked and how you would answer them. Be sure you're clear on why this is the role for you. Think about your aims and objectives when you began seeking a new AV role.

Once an interview is arranged we will talk through the key points, ensuring you are fully prepared. If you have any questions before your interview contact us to clarify any issues.

The interview

Ensure you allow plenty of time to travel to the interview and arrive at least 10 minutes early to give yourself time to compose yourself. Always wear a suit even, if this is not the required dress code for the job.

During the interview answer questions clearly and confidently but limit your answers to no more than a couple of minutes. Be ready to ask your own questions. Remember, they are not just interviewing you, you are also finding out whether this is the right company and role for you. Interviews are very much a two way street.

Feedback

After your interview let us know how you think it went. We can then give you any feedback from the client. This can be particularly useful for your preparation for a second interview.
