Interview Guidance, Hints & Tips.


At RecruitingUK, we firmly believe that any interview should be regarded as an opportunity to showcase your skills and attributes. An interview means that a Company has a need and it is up to you to show that you are the solution to that need.
With that in mind, no one should compromise this opportunity because of poor interview technique.
If you are unsuccessful in your application for a role it should be for 2 reasons; either someone else was more suited to the role than you, or that particular role was simply not for you. It should never be down to your giving a "bad interview", as this is generally a result of poor preparation.
This led us to compiling our Guide to Successful Interviewing.

Guide to Successful Interviewing.

This guide is essentially a route map to assist you in preparing and then navigating your way through an interview situation.
It will assist you with preparation and personal appearance, through to the more complex aspects of Competency Based Interview questions and, more importantly, how to answer them and use them to your advantage.


Competency Based Interviews.

This interview format is commonplace, particularly with larger organisations who prefer a standard interview framework, rather than and individualistic one.
Part of the rationale is that these seemingly obscure questions can help the interviewer gain an insight into your behaviours based on the way you communicate your responses. This then leads to the Company hiring the "best candidate".
Unfortunately, this seemingly one-size-fits-all approach to interviews can often prohibit the genuine "best candidate" from getting the job, simply because they are unable to showcase their attributes within the interview framework. Our invaluable guide can help you understand what is being asked, why it is being asked and how you should reply.

Role Play.

Many interviews and assessments can include role-play scenarios which are used to highlight a candidate's interactive skills, using questioning techniques and disturbance techniques, often with a pre-determined "Outcome". Unfortunately, many people have never actually done a role-play and, if you don't know how to do something, how you can you be expected to do its effectively?
Our Role Play Guide provides a comprehensive understanding of role-plays, based on our own experiences. It is by no means fool-proof however it will provide you with a concise understanding of conducting an effective role play in order to deliver your own "Outcome".
