Interview Preparation Checklist by Yorkshire Staffing:
A well-prepared candidate is a confident candidate. Use our interview checklist to give yourself the best possible chance of success.
Research the company:
Take time to understand the company’s values, services, and recent achievements. This not only helps you tailor your answers but shows genuine interest and initiative.
Understand the role:
Review the job description thoroughly. Familiarise yourself with the duties and requirements so you can confidently demonstrate how your skills align with the position.
Prepare STAR examples:
Use the STAR technique (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure responses to competency-based questions. Have a few examples ready that highlight your experience and problem-solving ability.
Dress appropriately:
First impressions count. Choose smart, professional attire that aligns with the company culture. When in doubt, it’s better to be slightly overdressed than too casual.
Plan your journey:
Check your route in advance and allow extra time for potential delays. Punctuality reflects your reliability and respect for the opportunity.
Practise common questions:
Rehearse answers to frequently asked interview questions. This helps you respond with clarity and confidence under pressure.
Bring essentials:
Carry a copy of your CV, identification, a notepad, and a pen. Being prepared with the right documents and materials shows organisation and professionalism.
