The stages before the interview:

• Find out all you can about the person you’re going to meet as well as the position, the group, the management and the business.

 The stages during the interview:

• You must be able to present yourself in 3 to 5 minutes concisely and in a manner that can be understood by all
• You should present your future professional project
• Remember to illustrate what you are saying with concrete facts.
• Ask questions about the rest of the recruitment process, deadlines, other planned interviews, etc.
• Pay attention to non-verbal language: your expression, your posture, any verbal tics or even parasitic gestures
• Don’t be too familiar
• Take notes
• Prepare the questions that you want to ask
• Be honest

Post-interview stages:

• confirm your motivation, going over the points covered in the interview
• thank the interviewer for their time during the interview and the information you received
• if you prefer to stop the process, let them know and simply explain the reasons that led you to take this decision

If your application is rejected:
