So, you’re feeling nervous about your interview? Great!

Interview tips

So&hellip; you&rsquo;re feeling nervous about your interview? Perfect.A few nerves usually mean you care - and that&rsquo;s a good thing. The goal isn&rsquo;t to &ldquo;not be nervous&rdquo;&hellip; it&rsquo;s to be prepared enough that you can still show up as your best self.Here are our Top 5 Do&rsquo;s and Don&rsquo;ts to help you feel confident and in control:<h2 data-start="313" data-end="328">Top 5 Do&rsquo;s ✅</h2>1) Do come prepared Research the company and the industry. What do they do, who do they serve, and who are their competitors?2) Do dress professionally Unless you&rsquo;ve been told otherwise, go smart. First impressions still matter.3) Do have questions ready A good interview is a two-way conversation. Thoughtful questions show genuine interest and commercial awareness.4) Do take a breath before answering You don&rsquo;t need rapid-fire answers. It&rsquo;s absolutely fine to pause, think, and respond clearly.5) Do be personable A bit of friendly small talk goes a long way. Skills get you shortlisted - likeability helps you get hired. <h2 data-start="994" data-end="1011">Top 5 Don&rsquo;ts ❌</h2>1) Don&rsquo;t be late Plan your journey properly, allow buffer time, and if it&rsquo;s in-person, consider a quick practice run.2) Don&rsquo;t forget the basics Good manners, eye contact, a confident greeting, and positive body language make a bigger impact than people realise.3) Don&rsquo;t bad-mouth previous employers or colleagues Even if you&rsquo;ve had a tough experience, keep it professional and focused on what you learned.4) Don&rsquo;t bluff If you don&rsquo;t know the answer, say so - then explain how you&rsquo;d find out or how you&rsquo;d approach it. Honesty beats guesswork.5) Don&rsquo;t undersell yourself Make sure your strengths are clear. What do you do well, and why should they hire you over someone else? You&rsquo;ve got this. Prepare well, show up as yourself, and treat it like a conversation - not an interrogation. Good luck!

We genuinely love what we do - and we&rsquo;ll work tirelessly to help you take the next step in your career. Check out what Luke thinks of us...&nbsp; I have been in contact and worked with many recruiters over the years, and it's exceptionally rare that you come across someone as good as Matthew. I had the pleasure of being represented by Matthew recently during my application for a remote start-up role. During this time, I was always impressed by his unwavering honesty, clear communication and friendliness. In the end I didn't end up choosing this particular role due to other factors, but Matthew never acted pushy or tried to influence my decision. From my very first conversation with him it was clear that he was committed to supporting me in finding the right role, even if that role didn't necessarily come through MFK Recruitment. Whenever I am next looking for a role, I will absolutely be in contact with MFK Recruitment as I can genuinely say I have never had such a pleasant recruitment experience.

I love meeting new people, trying new things, and bringing a bit of fun wherever I go. Whether I&rsquo;m out with friends, working on personal goals, or dreaming up my next big idea, I&rsquo;m always chasing growth, positivity, and a life that actually feels exciting.&nbsp;
