Interviews

Get to know the company 

It’s important that your research is fresh in your mind when you go for your interview so revisit their Gradcracker hub beforehand. 

Everything you might need 

Whether your interview is in person or on video, being prepared and well-equipped will make you perform better and feel more comfortable throughout the interview. 

Show your enthusiasm 

Employers want to hire people who really want to work for them, so they will be on the lookout for people who have a genuine interest in the company and the role. Tell the recruiter exactly why you want to work for them, and what it is about the opportunity that excites you. 

Transferable skills 

What are the role requirements? Once you have established this, prepare some examples of experiences in which you have demonstrated the skills and competencies needed for the job. This can include anything you have done or been involved in, in or outside of university – as long as you can make it relevant to the role. 

“Make sure you’ve got a few scenarios in your mind where you’ve demonstrated certain skills and responsibilities” – Tesco
