It’s a weird one isn’t it— when you’re finally on the other side of the table? When you give your first interview, you have to ask the right questions to see if the candidate is the right individual for the role. For the interview to go to plan, you’ll need to:

Ask questions the right way

It shouldn’t feel as though you’re grilling the person, you should ask questions naturally and more should evolve as you converse with the interviewee. If you just read down a list and don’t engage with the individual, it will feel unnatural and the individual won’t feel at ease.

No closed questions

Don’t make it easy for the interviewer. They shouldn’t be given the opportunity to answer with yes or no. Press them to elaborate to really get the right type of information out of them.

Revise their CV

Read about their experience, check out some of the companies they worked for and show an interest in them. They made it to the interview, so they obviously have a background that impresses you.

A digital nomad is an individual who moves from place to place with no permanent home or permanent workplace.

Finding Wi-Fi.

You need to make sure you’re travelling to a city that is developed enough for a significant amount of venues to have Wi-Fi as your entire lifestyle depends on finding a reliable connection.

Where’s the work?

If work starts to dry up, your money will and before you know it you’ll have to book the dreaded return flight home. Make sure you have savings to fall back on if you go through any dry spells.

So it has finally happened. After weeks of applying for numerous jobs you have been invited to attend an interview. You will have enough to worry about with regards to what you are going to be asked, if you have the right experience and qualifications without having to stress about what to wear. I would recommend planning this well in advance and actually try everything on before the day as the last thing you want is to find that your favourite shirt has a hole in it or no longer fits you.

Most companies expect people to attend an interview dressed professionally and smartly. There are a few expectations but if in doubt this is always the best way to dress.

You want to make an excellent first impression so make sure that you are wearing something that shows you mean business. Dress to impress is the phrase but make sure that you do not overdo it with the make-up, heels or by wearing something a little too revelling.

There are many different types of jobs available, some part time some full time, some permanent and some temporary, but which one is best for you?

If you are looking for job security and need to have peace of mind that your job is guaranteed (As much as a job can be), then you may want to consider a permanent position. Many employers are choosing to offer jobs on a temporary basis first as sort of an extended trial to see how you progress in the job. After this period you may then find that you are offered a more fixed position. Some jobs are offered to cover maternity leave or holiday period etc. These jobs normally have a fixed time period, but when applying for one of these types of vacancies you should ask if there may be an opportunity to advance to a more permanent position after this time if you have done well?
