Prep Like A Pro
-
Read the job description—again
-
Research the company (a quick Google works wonders)
-
Think of 2–3 key strengths you want to get across
-
Prepare answers for common questions (see below!)
-
Plan what to wear—even if it’s on Zoom
What You'll Probably Be Asked
A
Phonecall = First Impression
No shoes? No problem. Telephone interviews still matter—and they can be trickier than they sound. Here's how to ace them:
-
Find a quiet place with good signal
-
Have your CV and the job description in front of you
-
Don’t interrupt—wait for pauses
-
Smile when you speak—it really makes a difference
-
Jot down the interviewer’s name and key points for follow-up
Look Sharp, Even On Screen
-
Check your tech—camera, mic, Wi-Fi
-
Tidy your background or use a neutral one
-
Dress smart (top to bottom—we’ve heard the stories)
-
Look into the camera, not just at yourself
-
Don’t talk over them—Zoom lags are real
Bring The Best Version Of You
-
Be early (but not too early—10 minutes is ideal)
-
Be polite to everyone, even the receptionist
-
Bring a copy of your CV just in case
-
Ask 1–2 questions at the end (it shows you care)
-
Relax—if you’ve made it this far, they already like you
After The Interview: What Now?
-
Send a short thank-you email (if possible)
-
Don’t overthink—it’s out of your hands now
-
If you haven’t heard in 5–7 days, a polite follow-up is okay
A quick summary of your experience, strengths, and why you're interested in the role.
Think teamwork, timekeeping, communication—not “can lift 50kg boxes” (unless that’s the job).
Show how you solve problems or learn from experience. Give examples where possible.
Mention the role, company, and what excites you—don’t say “I just need work.”
