This week on the Career Coven, we talk about the process of being interviewed for a new job. It covers how to make a good first impression, how to develop a narrative around your own skills and whether or not to have notes in front of you during an interview. Bec shares her best and worst of interviews, and how she finds it easier to interview for jobs where your own experience is directly relevant. Annie share how candidates should also leave an interview with some value - it shouldn't just feel like a one sided interrogation.
Our interviewing tips include:
* Trying to say something interesting in the first interview, not just perfectly articulating your CV
* Make sure the role is clear, or push for clarity on it
* Keeping things quite conversational can help it to feel less nerve-racking
* Trying to have more than one example of your key strengths, so you're not just talking about the same examples over and over when interviewing (boring for you)
* Dress appropriately - even if it's online
* Listen actively to the interviewer, and don't just try to fit 'your examples' into the questions being asked
