Interview Tips

Don’t just research the company. Research its people — especially the people you may possibly meet when you interview.

Identify 10 to 15 examples of how you solved problems or demonstrated key behaviors that your research has indicated your target employer seeks. Try to list recent examples whenever possible. Then flesh out each example, giving each one a title and putting it into story format.

  • “Describe a situation where you had to convey an organizational decision that was controversial to your management team, your staff, or to employees throughout the organization.”
  •  “Tell us about a situation where you developed trust with other leaders in your organization.”
  • “Tell us about a goal you failed to achieve.”

Answers to behavioral-based interview questions should be structured Situation, Action, Result: What was happening, what you did in response, and how things turned out.

While some job interviewers will ask at least one unusual question, most will ask at least a few of the following:

  • “Tell me about yourself.”
  • “Why do you want to work for (this company)?”
  • “What is your greatest strength?”
  • “What is your biggest weakness?”
  • “Why are you leaving your job?”
  • “Where do you see yourself in five years?”
  • “Are you interviewing with any other companies?”
  • “Describe what diversity and inclusion means to you, and why it is important in this position.”
  • “What makes you more likely to succeed in this role than other applicants?”
  • “What are you most proud of in your career?”
  • “What do you know about our company culture?”

Research by Monster.co.uk shows that employers are highly influenced by their first impressions of candidates. This means that your personal presentation, the small talk you make, and your response to the typical first interview question, “Tell me about yourself,” really matters. So make sure you’re ready.

Expressing interest in the company, the job, and even the interviewer will definitely boost your likability.

At the end of the interview, close by saying something along the lines of, “Thank you for taking the time to meet with me today. I enjoyed learning more about (something specific). I am interested in the direction of (a particular) project. I look forward to continuing this conversation.” And if you know you want the job, say so. Don’t leave any ambiguity. If you’re excited about the opportunity and want to move forward with the company, say it. People want to hire people that really want the job. Sometimes you really do only get what you ask for.

The Global Search Company will take reasonable steps to inform you it has collected your personal information from a third party.

How We Will Use Information About You
 We need certain personal information primarily to allow us to perform our contract with you and to enable us to comply with legal obligations. In some cases, we may use your personal information to pursue legitimate interests of our own or those of third parties, provided your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. The situations in which we will process your personal information are listed below.

If you are engaged as an employee or contractor through The Global Search Company we may also need additional information for the following reasons:

  •  Administering the contract, we have entered into with you
  •  Paying you, deducting tax and National Insurance contributions
  • Dealing with legal disputes involving you, or other employees, workers and contractors
  • To prevent fraud

Some of the above grounds for processing will overlap and there may be several grounds which justify our use of your personal information.

If you fail to provide personal information
 If you fail to provide certain information when requested, we may not be able to represent you as a recruitment agency, or we may be prevented from complying with our legal obligations (such as to ensure the health and safety of our workers).

HOW WE USE PARTICULARLY SENSITIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may use your particularly sensitive personal information in the following ways:
 • In limited circumstances, with explicit written consent
 • To ensure you are eligible to work in the UK
 • In order to meet legal obligations
 • When it is needed to assess working capacity on health grounds, subject to appropriate confidentiality safeguards.

Do we need your consent?
 We do not need your consent if we use special categories of your personal information in accordance with our written policy to carry out our legal obligations or exercise specific rights in the field of employment law. In limited circumstances, we may approach you for your written consent to allow us to process certain particularly sensitive data. If we do so, we will provide you with full details of the information that we would like and the reason we need it, so that you can carefully consider whether you wish to consent. You should be aware that it is not a condition of your contract with us that you agree to any request for consent from us.

Information About Criminal Convictions
 We will only collect information about criminal convictions if it is appropriate given the nature of the role and where we are legally able to do so. Where appropriate, we will collect information about criminal convictions as part of the recruitment process or we may be notified of such information directly by you. We will use information about criminal convictions and offences usually where such processing is necessary to carry out our obligations and provided we do so in line with our contractual obligations to our clients and candidates.

Automated Decision-Making
 You will not be subject to decisions that will have a significant impact on you based solely on automated decision-making, unless we have a lawful basis for doing so and we have notified you.

DATA SHARING

We may have to share your data with third parties, including prospective employers, third-party service providers and other entities in the group. We require third parties to respect the security of your data and to treat it in accordance with the law.
 We may transfer your personal information outside the EU. If we do, you can expect a similar degree of protection in respect of your personal information.

Why might you share my personal information with third parties?
 We may share your personal information with third parties where required by law, where it is necessary to administer the working relationship with you or where we have another legitimate interest in doing so.

Which third-party service providers process my personal information?
 “Third parties” includes third-party service providers (including contractors and designated agents) and other entities within our group. The following activities are carried out by third-party service providers: CV formatting, payroll, pension administration, benefits provision and administration, IT services

How secure is my information with third-party service providers and other entities in our group?
 All our third-party service providers and other entities in the group are required to take appropriate security measures to protect your personal information in line with our policies. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes. We only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

What about other third parties?
 We may share your personal information with other third parties, for example in the context of the possible sale or restructuring of the business. We may also need to share your personal information with a regulator or to otherwise comply with the law.

Transferring information outside the EU
 We may transfer the personal information we collect about you outside of the EU, in order to perform our contract with you. To ensure that your personal information does receive an adequate level of protection we have put in place the appropriate measures to ensure that your personal information is treated by those third parties in a way that is consistent with and which respects the EU and UK laws on data protection.

DATA SECURITY

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.

DATA RETENTION

How long will you use my information for?
 We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such information without further notice to you.

RIGHTS OF ACCESS, CORRECTION, ERASURE, AND RESTRICTION

Your duty to inform us of changes
 It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal information changes during your working relationship with us.

Your rights in connection with personal information
 Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal information
  • Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you
  • Request erasure of your personal information
  • Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground
  • Request the restriction of processing of your personal information
  • Request the transfer of your personal information to another party

If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personal information, object to the processing of your personal data, or request that we transfer a copy of your personal information to another party, please contact The Global Search Company in writing.

No fee usually required
 You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.

What we may need from you
 We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

RIGHT TO WITHDRAW CONSENT

In the limited circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your personal information for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. To withdraw your consent, please contact the HR department at The Global Search Company.
