Presentation Matters

Research & Preparation

Keep grooming neat, smell fresh, and avoid heavy fragrances.
Sit up straight, smile, and make eye contact — body language speaks volumes.

Look at recent news, social media updates, or projects.
Be ready to explain why you want to work for that company specifically.

What Employers Want to See

A reliable, motivated, and positive attitude.
Energy and enthusiasm, honesty, confidence, and the ability to give real-life examples.

Top 3 Interview Tips

What Employers Want to See

Arrive on time – plan your route and aim to be early.
Be clear and concise – think before you answer, avoid waffling.
Ask a question – show interest (e.g. “What does success look like in this role?”).

❌ Interview Don’ts

Don’t be late – it sets the wrong tone straight away.
Don’t dress inappropriately – first impressions count.
Don’t bad-mouth past employers – it looks unprofessional.
Don’t waffle – keep answers focused and relevant.
Don’t interrupt – listen carefully before responding.
Don’t show disinterest – slouching, lack of eye contact, or low energy put employers off.
Don’t talk about salary, holidays, or time off unless the interviewer raises it.
Don’t lie – always be honest about your skills and experience.
