How to prepare for your country club interview

Being interviewed can be daunting and intimidating however, there are several steps you can take to prepare yourself accordingly. Here are a few tips to keep in mind…

Do your research

Researching the country club and your potential role will only count in your favour. It will help you understand the country club you could potentially be working at and equip you to answer questions effectively.

Doing the relevant research also creates a great first impression. It shows the country club representative that you took the initiative to learn more about the company.  It will also help you prepare thoughtful question to ask the interviewer.

Be punctual

Being late immediately creates a negative impression which may result in employers thinking that you are unprofessional and unreliable.

Plan accordingly and ensure that you leave home earlier than usual so that you can be on time. Remember to allow yourself an extra 15 – 30 minutes for unexpected traffic or in case you get lost. 

Dress to impress
