It’s likely you’re nervous, but that shows you care. Try to look at the exciting aspects of this potential new chapter in your life, gather all the questions you have and enter feeling positive and confident.
The KEY thing is to be yourself.
With that said you must choose your words carefully, keep the balance of showing off your personality whilst keeping professional.
Of course you want to dress to impress too, you need to make a favorable impression and clothes can really help with that. Keep simple, classic, smart and minimalistic, don’t let your clothes distract from you!
Topics of conversation on dates and in interviews can often be quite similar, where you are from, your working history, what motivates you, your passions etc. However, in both circumstances this needs to flow and keep your listener interested. You want to tell them about your most exciting and relevant experiences and achievements. Share what you can bring to the business and tie in your experience with what they are looking for.
Body language is always something to keep in mind, you want to present yourself as confident and friendly. Keep your shoulders back, arms unfolded, consistent eye contact and don’t forget to smile!
Finally, be on time, there is nothing worse than being late, it shows you are unorganised and can show a lack of commitment or respect to the situation.
