Interview Tips
Interview tips and techniques
This is ultimately the point that decides whether you get the job, so it's vital that an interview goes your way. Like most things in life, a lot of interview tips and techniques are common sense. Provided you keep your wits about you, come across as informative and personable and give a full account of who you are and what you can achieve - there is nothing to be nervous about.
Preparation
Finding out as much as you can about easyJet is vital. This website will tell you a lot, but there is plenty more out there - do your homework, key areas we advise you look into are:
- What we do - our business and history
- Our locations
- Current initiatives and future plans
- Key people in our organisation
Key things to remember
- Though we have a relaxed dress code - to create the right impression it's a good idea to turn up smart-casual
- Ensure you know your own achievements and aspirations, as most interviewers will ask you about these throughout your meeting
- Be on-time. Nothing is worse than turning up late - or too early. Plan to be there ten minutes before you're due
- Listen to each question and answer as honestly as possible. Try not to over-prepare for the day - interviewers can sense when answers are a 'stock' response
- If you don't understand a question - ask for clarification. If you don't know the answer - say so, don't make it up
- Try to expand on an answer rather than responding "Yes" or "No"
- If you're being interviewed by more than one interviewer, give attention to everyone equally
- Prepare fully before the interview if you have to take a test
- Leave questions to the end of the interview. It's normal policy to allow candidates time to ask questions at the end of an interview
- Be honest about the experience. If you feel that the role isn't for you - say so politely. If you really want the job - again, say so and highlight why you're the person for it
On the day
It may seem difficult, but be calm. Relax, maintain eye contact and approach the interview in a friendly, confident and interested manner. Be courteous and be confident - after all, no one knows you better than you. Smile. Be yourself!
