What Makes A Good Interview?

A good interview should be professional and formal. The candidate should firstly turn up on time, if not they should ring in and tell them they're going to be running late. The candidate should be prepared for the interview ahead of them. Appropriate dress is needed and good hygiene. An art portfolio should be prestented to the interviewer if nesscary. The candidate should wait to be invited in and always shake the interviewers hand as it is polite and shows respect and good manners. The candidate should wait to be asked to sit down. When the candidate is sitting down, they should have good posture and no be slouched in the chair. Good eye contact will show that you're a confident person and the candidate shouldn't cross their arms or legs as body language in an interview is very important. It is said that when you speak to a person 93% is body language and the other 7% is actual words; so correct body language is very important indeed. The candidate should also take notes down in the interview, but they should try not to get too distracted by note taking and listen carefully to the interviewer. The candidate should keep their mind on the flow of the interview and should try and stop their mind wandering, not paying attention is a very bad sign. If by any chance the candidate's phone goes off, they should switch it off and apologize; but their phone's should be switched off before they enter the interview. One question the candidate should never ask in an interview is "How much is the pay?" This question should be avoided at all costs. It makes the candidate sound like they're only in it for the money. The candidate should show a true passion for the job/course.The candidate should speak clearly and have good manners. The candidate should make themselves look good but not to the point where they sound arrogant or self centred. If the interviewer asks you questions like; "Has there been a time where you've had to overcome a challenge?" If the answer is yes, you should justify your answer with a good example. After the interview you should thank the interviewer and shake their hand again and exit politely.
