Interview tips for candidates
- Try to relax as much as you can.
- Sign at a rate that is comfortable for you. If you know that you make more mistakes when you sign quickly, slow down.
- Elaborate as much as you can – give details, explain your point, develop your thoughts, and make comparisons. Anything that shows you can discuss a topic in depth will help you perform better.
- If you know you have made a mistake, try and correct it, and continue. Correcting a mistake can help your performance. If you get stuck while signing, you can say something like, “let me start again’, then try again.
- If you are nervous and you need to stop for a few seconds to get control, that is okay.
- Please let the interviewer know if there is something affecting you during the interview. For example, it may be a noisy fan heater, or you can’t see the interviewer very well.
