•Take a few slow deep breaths to relax yourself - smile!! 
•You will be expected to shake hands - if your hands are sweaty 
wipe them on a handkerchief beforehand. 
•Shake hands in a firm and business like manner, smiling and 
looking the interview directly in the eye. 
•Greet the interview by saying “good morning” rather than 
something over familiar like “hiya”.

out beforehand

• Don’t play with your hands, or twiddle your thumbs

1. Your ability to do the job on offer 
2. Do you want the job? 
3. Your suitability and how you “fit in” with the company

Competency Based 
Interviews…
Competency Based Interviews 
• Competency-based interviews are more systematic, with each 
question targeting a specific skill or competency. 
• Candidates are asked questions relating to their behaviour in 
specific circumstances, which they then need to back up with 
concrete examples. 
• For example, the interviewers may want to test the 
candidate's ability to deal with stress by asking first how the 
candidate generally handles stress and then asking the 
candidate to provide an example of a situation where he 
worked under pressure.

• Tell me about a time you have worked in a team. How did you personally contribute to the 
team’s success? 
• What particular skills do you feel you can bring to the company?
