APPLICATION AND INTERVIEW TIPS
We assess candidates on how well they can read and follow instructions. During all phases of the review process, make sure you complete all paperwork according to the specific instructions. Don’t allow yourself to be disqualified merely because you did not take the time to carefully follow the instructions given to you.
Know how to write a formal resume. Candidates can easily find tips and guidance through the Internet.
Return all application paperwork in a timely manner. You will demonstrate your interest and seriousness in the job by how quickly, and completely, you return the information.
Arrive 15 minutes in advance of any scheduled interview or appointment — do not be late. Take the time necessary to know where you are driving, allow for parking, and be fully prepared and not rushed.
Make the interviewers comfortable. Arrive to your interview presentable, relax, look the interviewers in the eye, shake hands, smile, be comfortable, answer questions directly, and don’t try to be anything more than who you are.
Be interesting and humble, enthusiastic, demonstrate outstanding competence and / or an overwhelming desire to learn, highlight your well-roundedness (work, academic, personal), and clarify how you are an excellent fit with both the position you’re applying for and Galahad’s culture overall.
Do your homework and learn about Galahad. You should be able to answer specific questions about our firm when asked. Show us that you care about the career you are applying for by demonstrating you’ve taking the time, effort, and energy to learn everything you can about your potential new employer.
Passion matters and it is skillfully perceived by us. You are probably wasting your time unless you are really excited about the position and work.
Presentation: You are competing with many other highly qualified candidates. Before interviewing, think about yourself, the good qualities you have, the enthusiasm you have, the work ethic and loyalty you have, the intelligence you have and say to yourself (without being arrogant), “If they hire me, they are going to be lucky to have me a part of this organization.” Then, communicate that effectively in the interview.
Make it personal. Communicate what YOU can do for the company.
Leadership qualities: We look for candidates who exhibit competence, courage, curiosity, integrity, loyalty, perseverance, adaptability, compassion, and above all common sense. Be prepared to tell the interviewers why you feel you have these traits and how you’ve demonstrated these traits in past work environments.
Lastly, you are who you are and you cannot change for the job you are applying for. If you communicate you are a sincere person, you are honest, and talk candidly about what you can bring to the company — your interviewers will appreciate and respect that, and you will have a great interview regardless of the outcome.
