Interview Tips

Here are some helpful tips for you to follow in order to prepare for an upcoming job interview.

Research various aspects about the company, including its products and services, type of customers, culture and history. You can do this research via social media as well as online searches.
Dress smartly and professionally. Male candidates should wear closed button up shirt as well as a tie, hair must be brushed neatly. Female candidates should not show cleavage and wear neat attire with closed shoes, no sandals and spaghetti strap tops.
Aim to be at the interview meeting point at least 15 minutes prior to the agreed time.
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, however, try to make a point of calming down, speaking slowly and clearly and remaining professional at all times.
Even if past academic, professional or personal achievements may not relate entirely to the applied job, make sure to mention them, as this builds on character and shows intensity.
Make sure you understand the question being asked and get further clarification if you are unsure. Asking for clarification or further explanation in order to fully understand is not a sign of weakness.
Avoid salary discussions during an interview.
Ask questions that matter to you, such as the company’s values, management style and employee performance evaluations.

If your interview was successful, SKA will contact you. It could take a few days, but we will give you a call as soon as we have heard from the company.
If you don’t get appointed, try find out why and apply that knowledge to your next interview.
