I’m going for a series of interviews at the moment and want to maximise my chance of getting the job. Is there any evidence as to whether I am best to ask for the first or last interview, or the one in between? Is it better to ask for an interview in the morning or the afternoon, or at the beginning or end of the week? What does the research say?
Simon Broomer, managing director at Career Balance, a career advisory service in the City, says:
Some of us have “good” and “bad” times of the day. Try to go for the time of day at which you tend to perform better because you usually feel more alert, more positive and energised. We all have our own best times, and I am definitely a morning person.
