   :: Interviewing Advice

Excerpted from the United Kingdom Career Guide


Before the interview, do some background research on the company-its history and present focus. Then, assess your own skills and experience, so that you are clear on what you can contribute.

The United Kingdom is rather formal, so dress appropriately and make sure to be on time for the interview. Men usually wear suits (black, blue or grey), and tasteful ties, and women wear dresses or conservative skirt suits, with simple accessories.

The meeting begins with introductions and hand shakes. It is proper for a woman to extend her hand first. Normally those present do not exchange business cards at an interview. Remember in these exchanges that Britons want their personal space, and that it is best to avoid body contact and to keep a wide distance when conversing. One should also avoid emotional responses, loudness, and overuse of hand gestures and, certainly, patting on the back!

The interview is a time of mutual assessment. You should answer questions respectfully and directly, and avoid arrogance or boasting. However, you should also ask questions— the internal operations, responsibilities, and even benefits.

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