Your HP interview could have a major impact on your future. So to help make it a positive experience both for ourselves and for you, and to maximise your chances of success, follow our tips and hints:

Take some time to think about the following questions: What do you want to do? Where do you want to work? What do you have to offer? If you have really given some thought about your answers to these questions, you'll be better positioned for your interview with HP.

Be knowledgeable about HP – what we do and what we are. Know which positions interest you most and why. Use the job search tool to view jobs that best match your interests and experience.

Your resumé/CV is vital. It gives HP a 'snapshot' of you prior to interview and guides the line of questioning. Be sure it reflects the qualifications and experience needed for the job for which you are applying.

Pay special attention to your contact information and include your email address. Never forget to proof read. When filling out the application form/candidate profiler have your resumé/CV close by so you are able to provide the correct answers to the questions. Be factual and specific with your answers.

Honestly evaluate your willingness to move if relocation is required.

Let the interviewer know what professional areas you are excited and curious about. Demonstrate your abilities. Be prepared to answer technical questions. You might be asked about your work experience or projects. We are interested in what motivates and drives you.

Differentiate yourself. Let the interviewer know why you should get a job over other candidates. Discuss your important personal strengths. HP wants candidates with expertise in their field, but we are also looking for the following key qualities:

• A dynamic attitude
• Flexibility
• Team playing abilities
• Analytical skills
• Communication and interpersonal skills
• Commitment

Interview us. Because the interview is also a good opportunity for you to identify whether HP is where you want to be.

Bring supporting application information. Depending on the location, HP could require to see supporting application information like thesis, diploma results, or any recommendations.

Most of all, be natural, be honest and be yourself!
