I
prepared far ahead of my interview for a sales assistant to make sure I stood
out and knew what I was talking about. I had a confident manner in my knowledge
which benefited me as when I got asked questions by the interviewer I was
prepared and on the bull and knew off by heart my answers for the questions I
was asked. However, I was extremely nervous as I found it hard to deliver my
words clearly and elegantly. From previous experience I had experience with
interacting with customers which made it a bit easier for me to engage with the
interviewer. I found preparing for my interview not as stressful as I thought
as I didn’t realise I had the skills I had and I acknowledged this when I was
writing out my CV and cover letter. My CV and cover letter helped me during my
interview because the recruiter referred to various skills, hobbies and
qualifications I had and asked me to expand on them which I did. Before my interview
I had researched information about sales assistant vacancies and what they are
looking for and what qualities and qualifications they should have and my
qualities and qualifications.
During
the interview, I was respectful and polite to my interviewer as I really want
the job. What I wore was not an appropriate interview outfit as I saw other
candidates in skirts whereas I wore jeans. Next time I would wear a skirt with
a smart top instead of a jumper and jeans and small wedged boots to give a
level of professionalism. My pronunciation of words throughout my interview
were not great and next time I should be much clearer when I this will make it
easier for the recruiter to understand me.
From
my experience in an interview I have learnt to practise my confidence level to
make sure my speech is clear and persistent. For my upcoming interviews I will
ensure I dress more appropriately and more professional so that my interviews
will judge me on their first impressions.
