1.    Dress respectable even if it’s a low grade job

2.    Bring your CV with you

3.    Bring your passport with you, including your current visa

4.    Be prepared to be asked about your visa conditions.

5.     If you have overseas qualifications you should bring copies to the interview or better yet, get your qualifications Australian recognised (Including driver’s license).

6.    Prepare before you go – Google the “company name” and learn as much as possible about them and the job you are interviewing for.

7.    Remember Australia is feeling the negative effects of the global recession, so you need to give the interviewer a reason to employ you over an Australian person, always let the interviewer know that you are prepared to go the extra mile for the job.

8.    Answer questions short and sweet and keep to the point. Don’t stray off point and say something you may regret saying later. 

9.    Bring at least two contactable employment references, names and numbers – make sure your referees are available to take a call the day of the interview.

10. Be friendly, polite and mannerly – you would be surprised how important this is.
