New Year, New Start? Hunter Bailey Exclusively Reveal their Tips for Acing Interviews

    SYDNEY, AUSTRLIA, February 01, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The most common #NewYearNewMe resolutions are the typical "I'm going to give up drinking", "I'm giving up chocolate", "I'm going to start exercising more", and finally "I'm finding a new job." The latter is arguably the most daunting and pragmatic of all resolutions as it is a highly significant step to take. People are always keen to find a perfect or more suitable job in the New Year, especially if their current job has run its course. In this instance, the New Year passing is a clear signifier they have spent one year too many in their present role. The reasons for leaving vary from personal reward and worth purposes to an uninspiring or unpleasant environment in which the individual sees no other choice but to look for something new.

However, then comes the dreaded interview process, which will make people question the decision to ever leave in the first place. Hunter Bailey understands that even the greatest of candidates, with the most boastful of resumes, can fall victim to nerves during an interview, which can extinguish their dreams of a fresh start. Making the correct preparations for an interview is one of the most underestimated elements in a career, taking the time to prepare will undoubtedly make the entire process far smoother.

First impressions are pivotal in shaping a person's self-reflections and the attitudes towards them from others. Even if they land the job, the impression that they left of themselves in that interview room will be planted firmly with the boss/employer, meaning presentation in many ways is key.

Hunter Bailey recommends these simple steps before embarking on an interview journey.

Research: Put together a proper and well-informed sea of information about the company in question, this way you can answer and even ask questions to the interviewer that shows a level of intuitiveness. Researching information about current employees including the manager will additionally be highly beneficial, with information on the company website and LinkedIn being good starting points. Lastly, don't hesitate to ask the employer about the position in question.

Practice, Prepare and Questions: Before the interview, an effective tool to relax and release the fear of fumbling up is to practice. People can do this with a friend or family member who can ask relative questions that may appear in the interview. Another useful practice technique is for an individual to film themselves so that they can monitor their mannerisms etc.
Preparing for the interview, as stated before is key, therefore preparing for different types of interviews, on the phone, video and in-person are all valuable experiences. As well as research of the company and its members, having a prepared portfolio of your work to bring is sometimes an efficient way of standing out from the rest of the applicants.

Hunter Bailey recognises the nerve-wracking process of interviews, that is why they have introduced a three-stage interview process that allows the candidates to not only sit down with the Managing Director, but also meet the people they will be working with, and shadow them for a day. This allows the applicant to become more familiar and understanding of the workplace, freeing them of the unknown.
