Interview advice offered to jobseekers

7.10.2008

Job seekers looking to make an impression in the interview room may find advice from one expert particularly helpful.

Joe McDermott, chief executive officer of Interviewgold.com, has given his top tips on how to make an impression on potential employers.

He advises people to study the job beforehand so they are knowledgeable about the position and firm they could be working for.

Mr McDermott also suggests candidates make sure they are able to give examples of skills and talents they have instead of merely listing abilities. Likewise, job applicants should never assume their CV is good enough.

He said that "a good CV will get you into the interview room but it's your performance that will win the job".

It may be more important than ever to make an impression on potential employers following yesterday's news that more firms may be considering job cuts due to the credit crunch, according to Recruiter.
