Interview Advice

[The Short 1]

I have an interview tomorrow for a lettings negotiator position and was wondering if anyone has any good advice for me.

Ive been on their website and read the background info on the company and I have few questions lined up.

Ive got a job now and have been to a few interviews before so I sort of know what to expect but i want to make sure i stand out (positively of course).

Anyone an estate agent / lettings negotiator on here?

1. Look them in the eye.
2. Copy their sitting position/movements.
3. Ask questions.
4. ?????
5. Profit.

Its a sales role, so ask them to explain commission structure and what would be realistic 1st year earnings given current market conditions and what the branch is doing now, then ask what top earner is doing. If they say OTE of £45k but the top earner is only doing £30 then why? Ask why previous person left and how long they were there for.

Stay away from basic/holidays/perks/car/hours - anything that makes you seem like you want it all on a plate and not willing to put in the graft.

At the end close, and be direct. Ask outright if they have any reservations on your application (and bearing in mind it is a sales role they may well throw something at you just to test objection handling ) and once you have dealt with anything then "great! when can I come back and see you again?"

Bad advice.

A prospective employer is interested in what you could do for them. Take an interest in the business. Make the employer feel you will be an asset. Make them believe it is to their advantage that they employ you. All the other stuff will follow.
