Remember, an interview is as much about showcasing your skills as it is about finding the right fit for both sides.

Here are six refreshed tips to help you own your next interview:

1. Do Your Homework
   Preparation is key. Research the company, their brand, and the type of work they do. This shows your genuine interest and helps you align your answers to their goals. Bonus tip: plan your route to the interview to avoid arriving flustered or late.
   
   
2. Shine Bright
   This is your chance to highlight your strengths and let your personality shine. Practice delivering your key points confidently—short, engaging, and memorable. A strong personal pitch can leave a lasting impression.
   
   
3. Be Authentically You
   Nerves are natural, but don’t let them overshadow your authenticity. Look for ways to connect through shared interests or topics you’re passionate about. When you’re genuine, your enthusiasm speaks volumes.
   
   
4. Polish Your Portfolio and CV
   First impressions count, and your CV and portfolio are often the first things employers will see. Make sure they’re clear, well-organised, and uniquely you. Avoid overly automated templates; they can feel impersonal. Show your human side—it’s what sets you apart.
   
   
5. Dress with Intention
   Your outfit should reflect the company culture while staying true to your personal style. Aim for a look that says, I fit in here, without sacrificing your individuality.
   
   
6. Talk to me.
   There’s little I don’t know about crushing an interview. Or how to create a great CV and folio. If you’re still uncertain, I strongly suggest you book a career or folio/ website consultation.
