Fit matters in office support recruitment because these roles sit close to the day-to-day rhythm of a business. The right candidate needs the technical ability to perform the role, but also the communication style, adaptability and personality to work well with the team they support.

Folder.

Interviews can blindside you, but having answers to those common questions ready means you’ll enter the interview prepared.

References.

Bring a list of references to your interview. Make sure your referees know to expect a call or email from your potential employer.

Portfolio.

If you’d like to present anything to your interviewer, prepare it all in a neat portfolio for them to peruse.

Pen and paper.

Taking notes means you’re engaged and keen to learn about the organisation. So bring a pen and pad to your interview to really stand out.
