How to impress at interview
DO prepare for your telephone interview. Have your CV and a pen and paper to hand. Answer the phone in a professional manner and talk clearly and confidently.
DO plan your journey well in advance. Make sure you know the route and how long your journey will take. Check bus and train timetables (see www.nationalrail.com for trains and www.tfl.gov.uk for London transport). Always allow a bit of extra time for heavy traffic or tube delays.
DO get organised. Know where you’re going and who to ask for: bring your confirmation letter or email with you.
DON’T come unprepared. Do some research on the company. Think about the sort of questions you might be asked and prepare some answers. Find someone you can role play your interview with.
DO ask questions. This is your chance to find out more and show how much you know about CBRE, so think up some questions beforehand.
DON’T be nervous! Relax. Be yourself. We want to get to know the real you.
