We understand that interviews can feel nerve-wracking, however, with the right preparation, you can walk into your interview with confidence. At NCP, we embrace Kaizen—the idea of continuous improvement—and preparing for your interview is the perfect opportunity to refine your skills.
Do Your Research
One of the best ways to boost your confidence is by learning as much as possible about NCP. We’re not just about car parks—we’re about creating seamless journeys for our customers. Take some time to explore our Careers Site, learn about our history, and understand our core values:
- Put yourself in other people’s shoes – We believe in excellent customer service and teamwork.
- Embrace Kaizen – We constantly improve and innovate.
- Collaborate as one team – We work together to achieve great things.
Having a solid understanding of our values will help you align your responses with what we’re looking for in a candidate.
Prepare Your Answers
While we can’t predict every question, you can prepare by practising answers to common interview questions. A great way to structure your responses is by using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result). Think of examples where you demonstrated teamwork, leadership, or problem-solving skills—these are all things we love to see at NCP!
A key question you’ll likely be asked is: “Tell me about yourself.” This is your chance to highlight your background, experience, and strengths. Keep it concise—around two to three minutes—and make sure it’s relevant to the role you’re applying for.
Show Genuine Interest
An interview is a two-way street. While we’re assessing if you’re the right fit for NCP, you should also be making sure we’re the right fit for you. Come prepared with thoughtful questions such as:
- What does success look like in the first 30, 60, and 90 days?
- What are the biggest challenges in this role?
- What training and development opportunities are available?
This not only demonstrates your enthusiasm but also helps you get a better sense of the role and team dynamics.
Practical Preparation
It’s not just about what you say—it’s also about how you present yourself. A few key things to remember:
- Dress appropriately – Ask about the dress code beforehand.
- Arrive early – Aim to be at the interview 10-15 minutes before your scheduled time.
- Bring necessary documents – Ensure you have any required right-to-work documents ready.
- Check your tech – If your interview is online, test your internet connection, camera, and microphone in advance.
Stay Calm and Be Yourself
Interviews can feel daunting, but remember—we’re rooting for you! We invited you to interview because we see potential in you. Take a deep breath, speak confidently, and showcase the best version of yourself.
By preparing thoroughly and embracing the process, you’ll walk into your NCP interview feeling ready to succeed.
Good luck—we can’t wait to meet you!
