Episode 1: Google yourself!

Before a job interview, remember to do a search for yourself online. Recruiters may be tempted to do some online research to find out more about you. So take the initiative and check what information and photos they might find about you. It’s a chance to polish your online image and make a good impression, even before you’ve had your first contact!

Before a job interview, do a bit of research on the company too! Find out about what it does, its plans and the latest news. This will help you stand out during the interview, ask the right questions and show that you’re genuinely interested in the company. It’s a great way to make a good impression before you’ve even answered your first question!

Good preparation starts the day before! Prepare your pitch, practise presenting your career history and choose your outfit in advance. Remember to set your alarm so you arrive on time and, above all, don’t forget to get a good night’s sleep. That way, on the day of the interview, you’ll be in top form, on time and ready to make a good impression with a professional and enthusiastic attitude!

First impressions count! Arrive on time, make sure you’re well-dressed, and don’t forget that your body language also plays an important role. An open attitude, good eye contact and a smile show that you’re interested and motivated. With a professional and confident demeanour, you can make a good impression right from the start!

Episode 5: Keep It Short & Clear !

During a job interview, it’s sometimes better to say less, but say it better! Try to answer questions clearly and precisely, without going on too long. Avoid long-winded stories and unnecessary details that might distract from the main point. Short, well-structured and relevant answers show that you’re well prepared and know how to get straight to the point!

Episode 6: Stay Classy !

Even if your experiences with a former employer haven’t always been positive, avoid criticising your former boss or company. Instead, try to present things in a constructive way and emphasise what you’ve learnt from those experiences. Remain professional, respectful and confident: that’s always the best way to make a good impression!
