Checklist:

Punctuality

• [ ] Do not be late. Period.
• [ ] If the location is somewhere you’re unfamiliar with, go there the day before so there’s no surprises. Give yourself double the amount of time Google Maps tells you.

Presentation

• [ ] First impressions last, so invest time in your appearance. Always ask your recruiter in advance what is expected in terms of standard of dress. If in doubt, it’s better to err on the conservative side. Make absolutely sure your breath and body odour is addressed before arriving.

Now it is over to you, but remember the following:

Under observation

Be aware that everything you do in an interview will be carefully examined. This goes beyond your choice of words and clothes.

A shrewd interviewer will pay specific attention to:

• The presence you bring into a room
• The volume and speed of your speech
• Eye contact and facial expressions
