Show your hands during the interview, as this is a sign of honesty and let your personality show, don’t be too quiet.

Answer any questions asked clearly and concisely, do not waffle but also do not give ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answers.

Ask relevant questions at appropriate moments as this can show that you’ re genuinely interested in the role and the organisation and really listening to the interviewer.

Avoid talking about any personal problems you have or being negative about previous employers or work colleagues.

Display positive body language, speaking clearly, smiling frequently and retaining eye contact, try to be as enthusiastic as possible.
