Enter the room with confidence!

The interviewer wants to meet you, wants to talk to you and you are there to sell yourself, promote yourself and talk about your favorite subject – YOU!

There are a couple of rules and guidelines:

1.  Offer a firm handshake

2. Remember their names

3. Wait to be invited to sit down

4. Maintain good eye contact – sincere but not staring

5. Be professional and confident

6.  Be enthusiatic and friendly

7.  If offered a glass of water – take it.  It will staedy the nerves

8.  Remember to breathe!!

9.  Never say anything that is not on your CV and cannot be substantiated

10.  When invited to ask questions ask questions that show you have thought about the job and the company

Good suggested examples:    Why does the vacancy exist? How many reps in the company?  How many reps in my team?  What is the exact territory?

Above all ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE!  You are there to talk about YOU - your favorite topic of conversation!

Good Luck!

Submitting your CV is the first step in the search for employment

A good CV should secure an interview

An interview is YOUR opportunity, over thirty or forty minutes, to sell YOURSELF and promote YOURSELF to the interviewer as the IDEAL candidate for the job

Preparation is the key to a successful interview

Preparation:

1. Consult the company website

2. Consult MIMS

3. Consult the IRISH MEDICAL DIRECTORY

4. Talk to your Recruitment Consultant

5. Consider doing a Pre Interview Training Seminar

PART ONE – BEFORE THE INTERVIEW

1.  Chose your clothes carefully

2. Make sure you know the way to the appointed venue

3. On the day leave home in plenty of time and aim to arrive 15 minutes early

4.  In the minutes before the interview read through your CV one last time and predict possible questions

5.  Drink a glass of water to keep your throat moist

6.  Practice deep breathing and relax

Remember the interviewer is not a firing squad!

This is your opportunity to shine so shine!
