Five tips for a top interview - Ernst & Young - Switzerland

Five tips for a top interview

• Be prepared
  Learn as much as you can about Ernst & Young, who we are, our services and our strategic direction. Make sure you can articulate how your strengths and career goals align with ours, and why you think you’ll succeed in our organization.
  
  
• Be proactive
  Prepare a list of questions to ask your interviewer(s) so you can assess whether Ernst & Young is the right place to launch your career. Ask us questions about our organization, our clients, the opportunities we can offer you and what you can expect from us.
  
  
• Be yourself
  Try to relax and remember that we’re interested in the real you. When preparing, it’s helpful to think about how you’d like to communicate certain points but avoid over-rehearsing, as it may come across as impersonal.
  
  
• Be professional
  Take pride in your presentation. We will be looking for professionalism in how you dress, how you speak and what you tell us about yourself.
  
  
• Be punctual
  Arrive at least five minutes early and if – for reasons out of your control – you’re running late, call your interviewer and explain why.
