A major part of our recruiting effort is career counselling and interview preparation. We will always prepare you fully  for any face-to-face interview that we arrange for you. We will tell you who you will meet and what to expect. In short, you will walk into any interview, pre-arranged by Terra Nova Enterprises, feeling well-prepared, knowledgeable about the company, position and project, and most important, confident in what you have to offer the company!

Below is a partial list of tips we offer to prepare you for any interviewing situation:

• Arrive a few minutes early.
• Dress conservatively. A business suit always works well, unless advised otherwise.
• Firm handshake
• Keep laptop or briefcase on the floor by your chair, not on the interviewer's desk.
• Make eye contact!
• Smile and laugh, when appropriate - show your human side.
• Never bad-mouth past or present employers.
• Always answer questions fully - no "yes" or "no" answers, but don't volunteer unasked for information.
• Let the interviewer run the interview. Don't take charge.
• Address the interviewer by name.
• Please keep you cell phone turned OFF. 
  
• Please do not take or make calls, even when left in a room alone, between interviewers.
  
• When asked about salary, do not commit to an amount. An answer such as, "I will certainly consider any fair and reasonable offer that is extended to me" works well.
• Always be prepared with questions - this shows you are interested in the company. We will suggest some standard questions to have in mind.
• Do not judge a job or company while in the middle of an interview. A position that may not look interesting to you  while you're interviewing, may seem a lot more attractive after you've had time to digest all the information that has been presented to you.
• Communicate that you're a team player.
• Demonstrate interest, prior to leaving.  A good exit question might be, "When are you prepared to make  a decision, or is there another step in the interviewing process?"
• Good idea to send a thank-you note after the interview.
