 Davey B, I think its best I don't you my interview tips. I must have had 20 interviews since the summer last year and never got the job in admin I wanted. My age and lack of experience is probably why cos I felt they all went really well  College it is though! Anyway good luck mate! Be confident and sshhhhhmile. |

Dress smart.
Make eye contact with the person interviewing you.
Do research about your potential employer
Be polite and enthusiastic without going over the top.
Give yourself a second or two before you answer a question to give yourself time to think. It may seem a long time when you try it, but it helps!
Don't be afraid to say you don't know the answer to a question or ask them to rephrase it, if it isn't clear what they are asking.
Do all that and Power and Devlin should give you the job. I've seen the other candidates, you should do well.

avoid masturbating during the interview. I'd advise knocking one out beforehand just to make sure.

be confident but not cocky, as said eye contact is key and dont mumble.
try not to bull shit too much as it leaves you open to being caught out

Make sure you've got a couple of questions lined up to ask them at the end.

Ask for a glass of water, if they then through you a curve ball you can take a sip and take time to deliberate your answer instead of blurting crap out or looking a bit dim. Plus it makes you look slightly composed and calm.
Firm handshake as well still speaks volumes even with women. If you shake someones hand like a limp wristed Barrymore you're starting off with a hill to climb. Just don't fucking squeeze like a loon.

Make sure you've got a couple of questions lined up to ask them at the end. top tip, they always ask if you've got any questions yourself and it looks bad if you don't. just ask something about the job or firm which isn't obvious, even if you already know the answer. |

When they asked me want some of my weak points were in my interviews, I said I was too much of a perfectionist. Maybe that was a really obvious thing to say I dunno, it was a fib anyway. |
