A job interview is always stressful and whatever the job you are applying for, it always raises lots of questions. Stress levels are probably even higher if the job you are interviewing for is your first in the industry, either because you have just finished school or because you have decided to switch to a different career path. The key to success in any interview is thorough preparation and a relaxed, but focused state of mind, so here are a few tips to help you ace your first interview in the construction industry:
- Thorough research – try to find as much as you can about the company that you are interviewing at as well as about the role you are applying for. If this is your first job interview in construction, you probably don’t have too much experience and the job you want to land is an entry-level position or one that does not require previous industry experience, but even so, proving that you know what the job is about, at least in theory, is a definite plus;
- Outfit – wear smart-casual office clothes for the interview. The construction industry is more practical than formal, so you don’t need to wear expensive or too elegant clothes;
- Behavior – try to be relaxed, but professional, communicative, but not too chatty. Your handshake should be firm, but don’t squeeze, look the interviewer in the eye, but don’t stare and try to steer the conversation into the direction that is favorable for you.
