While a good resume is essential for getting an interview, there are some very important steps you must take to help ensure a higher success rate in securing that accounting job in Perth.

Research the Company

Do your research before the interview to show your knowledge of the company and the requirements of the position. There is an abundance of resources available online which can be used to complete this task.

Use the company’s website to gain some knowledge about what they do, how long they’ve been in business and their purpose or mission in their market space. Use LinkedIn or Glassdoor reviews to learn about the culture and expectations of their employees. And, most importantly, have a
thorough knowledge of the job description for which you are applying.

Ask Questions

A job interview should be a 2-way conversation. Your interviewer will undoubtedly have many questions for you. One of the best ways to demonstrate interest and desire for the job is to have questions of your own.

Ask your interviewer questions about their expectations and how they work best with their team. Don’t be afraid to ask about their experience in the company, how long they have been there, and their favorite part of their job.

Dress Appropriately

The way you present yourself during a first impression sets the tone for the whole interview. An unkempt appearance may give the impression that you are not serious about the role for which you are interviewing. A clean appearance, good hygiene, and proper attire will show them you appreciate the opportunity to be interviewed and that you respect their interest and time.

Arrive Early

Your interviewer is taking time away from their regular duties to have a conversation that will determine whether you will be considered for a role in the company. The best way to show respect for them is to demonstrate that you know how valuable their time is by not keeping them
waiting,

Arrive 15 minutes early for your interview. This allows time for you to park, introduce yourself, and be seated in a timely manner so your interview conversation starts on time.

Sell Yourself

Be ready to discuss your personal strengths and why you are the best candidate for the position. Most, if not all employers will ask you to elaborate on your resume details. Our resume Writers can assist with the writing part, but you will need to have full command of your verbal delivery.

Many employers also ask about weaknesses. Use this as an opportunity to demonstrate your desire to leverage their resources to help you learn and grow in your position.
