   :: Interviewing Advice

Excerpted from the South Africa Career Guide


In preparation for your interview, thoroughly research the company. This will enable you to answer questions well, and demonstrate knowledge and initiative in your own questions.

The interview, for which you must be punctual, will usually start with introductions in order of seniority, and handshakes all around. Unless invited to use first names, use "Mr." or "Mrs." or "Miss" during the conversation. After a few minutes of casual conversation, the meeting will begin in earnest, with questions about your experience, and your solutions to real or potential problems. Listen carefully to the questions; speak clearly and confidently. Be prepared to discuss your strengths, weaknesses and accomplishments.

· Avoid arrogance and boasting.
· Although you may be made to feel at ease, never become familiar.
· Avoid close physical proximity, pointing a finger at anyone, or talking with your hands in your pockets.
· Dress conservatively—, or sport coats and trousers for men, and dresses or suits for women.
