   :: Interviewing Advice

Excerpted from the Australia Career Guide


Be ready to discuss your skills and weaknesses, and what you can contribute to the company. Dress conservatively and neatly and, if possible, arrive a bit ahead of time in order to orient yourself to the place of the interview.

Australians are friendly and open in general; however, in business situations they are somewhat more formal. They expect courtesy and respect. Australians have a dislike for arrogance, so it is important to be straightforward and modest, and maintain eye contact when speaking or being spoken to. In the interview, you may be asked to respond to hypothetical questions. You may have to wait for the results of the interview, since consultation is an integral part of Australian business.

Don't forget to write a follow-up thank you letter. Also, remember that you are below the equator--summer is from December to February when most four-week vacations are scheduled, so plan accordingly!

This is just a sample of what you'll find in the complete guide.
