Well, did you watch it? I hope so, because it dealt with a lot of areas regarding what should be included in an ideal interview. It opened up lots of issues regarding the Interview. What it highlighted to me included the following:
- do not be flippant or attempt humour on a CV or application form (Jamie’s attempts at being funny about himself)
- do not behave in a personal manner with an Interviewer (Stuart’s “hello, Margaret!”)
- do your research of the company before attending an interview – they will do their homework on you! (Joanna not knowing about Lord Sugar’s companies)
- be honest in any document you prepare and remember that Interviewers will pick up on anything listed there (Stuart’s Telecom licensing details)
- be careful of what you say in an interview – your words may well come back and haunt you (Stuart’s big fish in a small pond) or (Chris having so many previous starts in life)
- try to come over in a personable manner (Chris sounding monotonous in an interview)
Based on the programme, who do you think is the ideal candidate?
