Research various aspects about the company, including its products and services, type of customers, culture and history.

Dress smartly and professionally. Your professional attire shows the interviewer that you are taking the interview seriously.

Aim to be at the interview venue at least 15 minutes before the agreed time.

Prepare examples that highlight your ability to do each part of the job.

Bring along copies of your CV, academic transcripts (if you have recently graduated) and identity document (ID).

It’s normal to be nervous at the start of the interview, but thereafter you need to relax, think clearly and use a friendly, professional tone.

Your past achievements may not always be directly related to the role you are applying for, but they can be used to emphasise your ability to adapt to new situations.

Make sure you understand the question being asked and get further clarification if you are unsure.

Avoid salary discussions during an interview. Ideally, you want to receive a formal written offer from the company to consider in your own time.

Don’t miss the opportunity to ask questions that matter to you, such as the company’s values, management style and employee performance evaluations.

If your interview was successful, Wexford will contact you. Sometimes a company’s internal process is a long one and it could take weeks for a company to get back to us.

If you don’t get appointed, try find out why and apply that knowledge to your next interview.
