10 Tips for Job Interviews in Australia Done by: Ampleev Vladislav, MT-255
COME PREPARED Be aware that you may be required to complete some kind of entrance test prior to being called for an interview! Know yourself - your strengths, weaknesses and accomplishments. A job interview is not the time to wing it!
RESEARCH THE COMPANY Find out about the company through annual reports, Newspapers, Value Line, " S&P, etc.
PANEL INTERVIEW • There may be two or three people on the panel and during the introductions take care to note the names. • Whether to shake hands or not will be indicated by the Panel Chairman, if they hold their hand out to shake reciprocate. You can then shake hands and repeat each person’s name to confirm their identity.
BUSINESS CARD There is sometimes an opportunity to hand over your business card at the beginning of the interview, if so do not offer any further paperwork such as CV, qualifications etc until later in the interview when they become relevant.
DRESS APPROPRIATELY TO MATCH THE COMPANY CULTURE In southern states during autumn or winter Men’s dress Women’s dress jackets and ties suits or similar with simple accessories In the northern states or in the summer months short sleeve shirts and ties skirts and blouses or dresses with simple accessories
COME PREPARED FOR KEY QUESTIONS Be prepared to answer hypothetical questions such as “What if you were . . . ” and some very direct questions as “Why do you want to work for this company” be prepared to answer as fully as possible, avoid “yes” or ‘no” answers and above all be truthful.
COME PREPARED Keep all your paperwork carefully in order and only offer them when they become relevant.
ASK PROBING QUESTIONS Avoid asking about salary unless this has not been covered previously. Questions relating to promotion opportunity, skills development training are the types that are often asked at this point of the interview.
BE POLITE When leaving the interview, if you have shook hands at the beginning you should now shake hands again, using the interviewer’s names if possible. Make sure that you close the door behind when exiting the room.
WAIT FOR SOME TIME Australian Businesses often have a lengthy consultation process, so you may have to wait for some time for the results of your job interview. It is common practice for applicants to follow up the interview with a ‘thank you’ letter. Employers often regard this as an indication of your real interest in the position.
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR AUSTRALIAN JOB INTERVIEW!
