“Over the last year David has acted on my behalf to help secure a position in Medical Sales. At every stage in this process he has been a constant and tireless advocate and advisor. David is always positive and even at times, in what can be lengthy processes, he has been supportive and once again, always thinking of the positives. David is responsive, committed and I have never found him to be in anything other than a cheerful, professional and forward thinking mindset. The time he has put in with myself alone is very considerable. He is thorough with complete attention to detail. And I must point out that David went the extra, extra mile earlier this year – this was impressive and says everything about him and his desire as a recruiter to do whatever he can for his client, candidate and of course Advance, to reach an outcome beneficial to all parties. He is a credit to himself and the Company he represents. I am extremely grateful for all his hard work and utter dedication which has paid off in the form of me being offered today a post I dearly wanted. I would absolutely not have achieved this without David’s guidance. The highest compliment I can give David is this – I would want him on my team. I would recommend David without any hesitation to anyone looking to find a position in medical sales. Indeed I would actually urge those potential candidates to get in touch with David at Advance Recruitment.”

Robert
“I have never had a recruiter that worked so hard to find a suitable position for me. It is also rare now to find a recruiter that rings you with roles regularly and rings to update you on their search even when he doesn't have a suitable role. Dave's guidance and help was absolutely invaluable and it was because of that, that we were able to secure a role for myself. If you are looking for a role or looking for a recruitment company for your role then I cannot recommend Dave and Advance highly enough..”
Matthew
“From having used multiple other recruitment agencies, my customer experience with Advance far exceeds any of these. It was quite clear from the beginning that the consultants at Advance were willing to go the extra mile to help their candidates secure the best positions available. Not only did Advance get me interviews with the three top medical device companies in the world, but the excellent guidance I received to prepare me for the interviews helped me in securing a dream job in a very competitive market. The consultants at Advance are a very friendly bunch and are quite clearly very results driven. I will certainly be using their services for future job opportunities.”

https://www.theguardian.com/careers/2017/may/15/how-to-avoid-the-most-common-job-interview-mistakes
You’ve found the role, made an application and been invited for an interview. What happens next will see you celebrating your success or trying to work out what, if anything, you did wrong.
To spare you the post-interview angst, here are some of the most common mistakes people make in job interviews and how you can avoid them.
One of the key questions an interviewer is likely to ask is what you know about the organisation. Before going to a job interview you can learn about a company by visiting their website, checking out their social media, or reading their annual report. Glassdoor.com is a great resource for researching a business, its culture and the experiences of candidates who have been interviewed previously. If it’s possible to visit the company as a customer, this can be a good way to experience first-hand what they offer and understand how they operate.
An interviewer might ask you about your understanding of the role you have applied for. You should be able to describe the purpose of the role and what you can bring to the job.
You can learn about the role from the job advertisement, the job description, and by looking at the LinkedIn profile of the person currently in the role. If you are put forward by a recruiter, be sure to ask questions to find out as much as possible about the organisation and the role.
Chances are, you won’t meet all of the job requirements. Rather than admitting to this, a better tactic is to turn the spotlight on to the knowledge, skills and experience you have. For example, many candidates begin by answering a question related to a job requirement by saying: “I don’t have experience in that area, but I have used these skills in X example”.
A better way of answering the question would be to talk to about the knowledge or exposure you do have. It’s better to talk in terms of positives rather than negatives. Remember that no one will fit all the criteria – and the other interviewees are likely to have similar skillsets and experience to your own.
Let’s face it, interviews are not the most natural form of human interaction and it’s easy to let nerves get the better of us. The best way to alleviate interview anxiety is to dedicate plenty of time to researching the company, the role and considering potential questions you may face.
Another tip for staying in control is managing your physiological state. Mindful breathing techniques are a powerful way to bring you back to the moment, and to stop negative self-talk in its tracks. Try taking a series of calming breaths while you’re waiting to go into the interview. Simply breathe in through your nose for a count of six and out gently through your mouth for a count of 10. This will bring the oxygen back to your brains and help you to think clearly. Three deep breaths should see you feeling calmer, centred and in control.
Instead of sabotaging your interview by telling yourself how inadequate your performance will be or how you have no chance of beating the competition, research has proven that using positive imagery can boost success. So picture yourself having an enjoyable, positive conversation with your interviewer before you start.
One of the biggest challenges you will face is how to articulate your response to interview questions concisely. This is particularly difficult if you are feeling nervous.
To control your nerves, try imagining the interview as a general conversation which is far less threatening. Listen carefully to the questions being asked and don’t be afraid to ask for a question to be repeated or for further clarification. It’s better to answer the question effectively than make assumptions and answer incorrectly. Once you have understood the question, allow yourself a few moments to consider your response.
It is helpful to spend some time ahead of the interview practising some of the questions you anticipate will be asked. Look at the requirements (in the job advertisement and job description) and develop 10–15 possible questions the interviewer might ask around competencies. You should also think about your responses to common interview questions like “Tell me about yourself”, “What are your greatest strengths/weaknesses?” and “Where do you see yourself in five years time?” Practise your responses with a family member, friend or in front of the mirror until you can answer them without hesitation.
