Get to know us

Have your pitch ready

Predict and prepare questions
- Use the job advert to anticipate what you’ll be asked.
- Learning about your interviewers can help you prepare questions. Use LinkedIn and Google to find out about their roles and experience so far. And, who knows, maybe you have something in common.

Get it right
- If your interview is in person, prepare your journey so you arrive early.
- Dress professionally (even for a video interview) and switch off devices that could distract you.
- Be aware of your posture and body language. Make eye contact with all your interviewers.
- Stay on topic and focus on answering the questions.
After the interview
- Feel free to ask about next steps.
- It’s always good form to send a personalized thank you email (within 24 hours is especially impressive).
