It’s Never Just A Chat
So, you’ve handed in a resume and cover letter so killer that they want to call you in for a “chat”. First things first: it’s never just a chat. Consider it as seriously as you would any other job interview.
Figure Out Who You’re Meeting With
Then look them up on LinkedIn. Fancy, adult job interviews often have two or more people on the panel, so it pays to know who you’re meeting with. If they don’t tell you upfront, feel free to ask who will be present.
Look Up the Address on Maps
Get at least a basic idea of how you’re going to get there so you’re not totally flustered on the day.
Have Questions for Them
At the end of the interview, they’ll ask if you have any further questions. Hot tip: you do. You always do.
Here and here are great resources for you to use and get an idea of what to ask.
Follow Up with An Email
Tell them it was great meeting with them, you’re grateful for their time, and you look forward to hearing the outcome of the interview.
Become OK with Rejection
Reframe your thinking around job-hunting. Collection rejections. It’ll make you so much more confident about getting up and applying for different roles if you go in with the mindset that you have nothing to lose.
