Top 5 Tips for Conducting Your 1st Interview

Tip 1: Show us your personality! We are not looking for perfect people, we’re looking for people with potential. We know that interviews can make people nervous. Don’t be! Remain calm, take deep breaths, and have fun! We are in the people business, and we just want to hear more about you!

Tip 2: There is no “right” answer to interview questions. Don’t say what you think we want to hear, give us your real thoughts and opinions.

Tip 3: Embrace your independence. It’s great if you want to practice with family and friends, but in the interview, we only want to hear you and see your smile!

Tip 4: There is no specific interview dress code, but we are looking for people who represent themselves well and would represent Water Safari Resort well. Wearing one of your favorite outfits is an easy confidence boost. You get one chance to make a good first impression!

Tip 5: Be ready for your interview 5 minutes before your scheduled time. We will expect you to be on time to work, so being on time for your interview shows us you are punctual.
