Interview
Tips
The
interview,
whether
with
a
client
or
a
recruiter,
is
of
utmost
significance
in
selling
your
skills
and
your
suitability
for
a
role.
Whilst
your
resume
outlines
your
experience
and
skill-set,
the
interview
allows
you
to
demonstrate
to
the
interviewer
your
abilities
and
cultural
fit
for
a
role.
Things
to
remember
when
going
to
an
interview
are:
Punctuality
Some
people
have
very
strong
views
on
promptness.
Arrive
5
minutes
early
-
no
more,
no
less.
Research
Your
Mantech
consultant
should
be
able
to
answer
most
of
the
following
questions:
What
industry
is
the
company
in
-
how
they
make
money
History
and
size
of
the
company
Size
of
IT
department
Specific
duties
in
the
role
How
the
vacancy
was
created
Any
significant
issues
facing
the
IT
department
Future
of
the
department
Your
career
prospects
Anything
else
you
can
find
out
Presentation
Approximately
70%
of
your
message
in
a
conversation
is
conveyed
with
your
body
and
facial
gestures,
20%
in
the
tone
of
your
voice
and
less
than
10%
is
conveyed
by
your
words.
So
consider
these
pointers:
Smile
Firm
Handshake
Regular
Eye
Contact
Feel
assertive
about
your
suitability
for
the
job
Avoid
crossing
your
arms
Dress
appropriately
Conversation
Some
interviews
are
like
you've
met
an
old
friend,
and
others
painfully
formal.
The
interviewer
really
wants
you
to
be
perfect
for
the
role,
but
is
under
pressure
to
make
the
right
decision.
Remember
why
you
are
there:
To
find
out
all
the
information
you
need
to
make
a
decision
and
to
present
yourself
in
a
truthful,
yet
favorable
way,
so:
Listen
carefully
Ask
appropriate
questions
Synopsise
what
you
have
understood
Don't
ask
the
wrong
questions
-
eg.
leave,
hours,
sick
leave
etc
These
are
issues
that
your
agent
will
cover
with
you
Mention
that
your
interested
in
the
job
Ask
how
well
you've
done
at
the
interview
-
clears
up
any
misunderstandings
Confirm
everything
your
agent
told
you
