Enthusiasm key in interviews

Candidates for sales jobs should make sure they show their enthusiasm for a job role in interviews, one expert has claimed.

The comments follow the penultimate episode of BBC One TV show The Apprentice last week, which featured high pressure interviews for the remaining five candidates

Rhonda Lusty of the BBC warned that it was important that candidates prepared for interviews carefully to avoid some of the mishaps on the show.

She notes in particular that it was essential to remain professional at all times, even when showing your enthusiasm.

Ms Lusty told ClickAJob: "Although you want to come across in a professional manner, it's also important to be enthusiastic and show the interviewer that you have a personality that will fit in well with the team."
