We’ve been chatting to people all week for positions in our Creative Services team. Overall it’s been fun and really interesting….

A few tips though…

1. Leave some things at home
…like your infectious disease! If you’re not feeling so well just tell us and we can reschedule. Rudolph noses don’t look so good anyway. Now I have one. You give us a cold, and we give you a job? Sorry, doesn’t work that way…

2. Push our door… don’t pull..
Trust us, first impressions count. If a door won’t move with quite a bit of force, try the other way

3. Answer the question…
Being asked a questions isn’t an invitation for you to blabber on. Succinctly answer the specific question being asked. Blabbing on only shows you have an inability to listen!

4. It’s only coffee
This one goes for some younger applicants. If you’ve been offered a free coffee – just accept it and say thanks. Don’t offer to pay for it yourself. It’s only $2…… Really… we shouldn’t have to fight over who is picking up the $2 tab! The art of giving is often in accepting.

5. Say you don’t know
We don’t expect you to be perfect. In fact, the more perfect you and your responses are – the harder it is for us to like you. We are far more impressed with someone who answers “I don’t know“, than someone who replies with a textbook response. Providing a textbook response just irks us… it probably also says that you’re great at being dishonest.. something we don’t like at all.

6. Show us!
Lastly, do you really want the opportunity?! Well then, really show us!

Applications are still open for the next few weeks. Good luck!
