Top Tip for Candidates: Make Your Own Luck in Job Interviews

Top Tip for Candidates: Make Your Own Luck in Job Interviews
It’s Friday 8th August 2025, and there’s a staggering £172 million EuroMillions jackpot up for grabs tonight. Tempting, isn’t it? But while the odds of winning that are… well, astronomical, the odds of landing your dream job with the right preparation are much better.
Here’s the thing: success in a job interview isn’t about luck — it’s about planning, preparation, and presenting yourself in the best possible light. You can’t control the lottery numbers, but you can control how ready you are when that interview invite lands.
Research Your “Winning Numbers”
In the same way lottery hopefuls pick their lucky numbers, you should know your key talking points before an interview. Research the company, understand their values, and be ready to show how your skills align perfectly. That’s how you create your own luck.
Dress Like You’ve Already Won
First impressions happen in seconds. Just as a lottery winner might head to the bank looking their best, you should enter the interview room looking polished, professional, and confident. Clothes won’t get you the job, but they set the tone before you’ve even spoken.
Practise Your Jackpot Answers
The EuroMillions might be random, but your interview answers shouldn’t be. Prepare responses to common questions and rehearse your achievements so they come across naturally. The more you practise, the smoother you’ll be when it counts.
Stay Cool Under Pressure
Imagine your winning numbers are called — your heart would race. Interviews can feel the same. Take deep breaths, stay focused, and remind yourself that you deserve to be in the room. Confidence is part of your prize.
