Sorry but I don’t agree with the following: -There is absolutely nothing wrong with tailoring your CV for that job role in question. Obviously don’t put the company name on your CV but there’s nothing wrong with aligning your CV with the skills/competencies they are looking for. -There is nothing wrong with being nervous, it’s natural to feel nervous during interviews especially if there is a panel interview and 3 or more people are interviewing you! -Nothing wrong with arriving late, sometimes there are things not in your control e.g traffic or arriving at the wrong building etc. I arrived 10 minutes late for my interview as I genuinely got lost but I still got the job offer in the end :) -WE ARE LIVING IN 2021 DURING THE PANDEMIC, WHY DON’T PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT ITS OKAY TO HAVE UNEXPLAINED CAREER GAPS! We are human beings not robots! It’s okay to take a break for your mental health, it’s okay to take a break and not do anything, it’s okay to take time out and not have a reason for it! This has to become normalised! So many people are getting brainwashed on Linkedin :(

Thanks for your reply - I appreciate you taking the time to help others improve their chances of passing interviews. I think we actually agree on many points - I’ve framed things in the negative to help people turn them into positives. I would advise avoiding being late though. It indicates a lack of desire for the role, will give a bad first impression, will increase your stress levels and will almost certainly reduce the length of the interview and hence your opportunities to demonstrate your skills. (I also turned up late for a job interview and got the job though so maybe it’s not an irrecoverable fail!)

When researching a company (point 1) where do you advise finding the relevant information, how would you find a companies strategy for example. In my experience most companies websites feel very “PR” like and don’t really have much granular detail or information that could be used at interview. This is an area I’ve often struggled with, due to not knowing where to actually look

I’d say that a company’s website is location number one for your research. You will often find things like strategy and values there although sometimes they are a little opaque as you say. I’d suggest supplementing that by searching for news stories about the company to see if they’re involved in m&a or changing leadership. Recent press interviews of the ceo can also be helpful. Doing all this should help you understand the company well and also demonstrate that you had the passion / initiative to find out what you could. They won’t mark you down if you don’t know things that aren’t publicly available.

I really did want to be a stunt man or a disc jockey whilst growing up! What did you want to be?

I’m so glad some people are cardiologists but that’s one job I’d definitely want to fail the interview for given I can’t stand the sight of blood!!!
