The most important Ten Tips for Success in The Job Interview Itself
In the last top ten tips I explored how to prepare for an academic interview. Now, here's how to
get the best result on the day itself.
- Arrive on time, but not too early
- Be prepared to meet other candidates
- Speak slowly
- Maintain eye contact
- Admit when you don't know
- Discussing your research confidently
- Offering teaching
- Show enthusiasm
- Be friendly
- Finish on a positive note
1. Arrive on time, but not too early
If you are invited to an interview for 9am say,
arrive between 8.45 and 9am, no earlier.
You might inconvenience the staffs who are meeting you:
it's just as stressful preparing to interview candidates as being interviewed yourself!
So if you arrive early walk around outside to clear your head and get some fresh air.
2. Be prepared to meet other candidates
In many academic interviews the American all-day format is used,
which means that you will meet and have to interact with the other candidates.
Try not to let yourself be intimidated by them, conversation will naturally
move towards your current position, your job seeking history, how many interviews you
have attended recently and so on, but try to play things close to your chest,
while remaining calm and friendly. Be open about your area of specialism for example,
but not about what makes you stand out from the crowd.
3. Speak Slowly
In both the presentation and the interview, speak more slowly than you would normally.
You will probably have good public speaking skills from lecturing experience and giving
conference papers, but because you are unusually nervous you might speak too quickly.
4. Maintain eye contact
Again nerves can lead presenters to stare at their notes or the projector screen rather
than their audience. Remember, as with a lecture, seminar or paper, make eye contact
with your audience, especially when answering question. You will come across as confident
and assured. But equally, don't stare at people! Be natural.
5. Admit when you don't know
In the presentation and the interview if you are faced with a question that you are unsure of,
admit it. Do not try to bluff your way out of it ‘politician-style' by changing the subject or
answering a different question. It is much more professional to ask the speaker to rephrase the
question, or to be light-hearted and admit you don't know the answer. Your interviewers will respect
you more for being honest.
6. Discussing your research confidently
It is important to discuss your past, present and future research plans confidently and if you
have prepared well for the interview this should be no problem. Make sure you take time to explain
your plans without rushing, and always relate them to the post they are interviewing for. Remember that
the panel are highly educated but not necessarily subject specialists in your field, so pitch your
research plans accordingly.
7. Offering teaching
For a teaching post you will have prepared some relevant responses about what you can offer in terms
of teaching, but in some cases this may be ‘sprung' on you unexpectedly. It is important to come across
as a confident, enthusiastic teacher. Under no circumstances discuss the confidential history of any
students (although you can use general examples of, say, where you have given pastoral care) nor should
you be critical of your current or previous institutions.
8. Show enthusiasm
Enthusiasm is key, make sure you smile a lot! Because of nerves, some people can appear subdued at
interview, whereas in fact they are just naturally quiet. Don't let this be mistaken for lack of
confidence or even being aloof. It is worth going that extra mile to show how enthusiastic you are
about the job. For example, visit the university library or research labs during a break in the
interviewing, show you have researched something relevant to your field.
9. Be friendly
Being friendly sounds obvious, but it is easy to forget that above all, the interviewers will be
looking for a human being who will fit into their department. You will be spending a lot of time
working with them and they want to know that you are down-to-earth and approachable. Academic
interviews are incredibly competitive, all the candidates will be very highly qualified
(if not over-qualified), so it is the personal touches that can make a real difference.
10. Finish on a positive note
Even if you feel the interview has gone badly, try to leave on a positive note. Thank the panel
for their time and say that you look forward to hearing from them soon. Perhaps say that you have
found the day very challenging but rewarding. Give a firm handshake and look the panel members in
the eye. This will linger in their minds and will leave a better impression than slinking off with
barely a word.
