Interviews

Before you attend an interview find out everything you can about the company (e.g. visit their website if they have one, read any brochures or annual reports).

Re-read your application form and think through your own career and the questions they might ask you. You should try to think about the general questions which they will ask and also prepare some questions to ask them.

To do well at the interview you will need to convince the interviewer you have the skills to do the job. You will also need to show that you are sufficiently motivated to get the job done well and that you will fit in with the company's organisational structure and the team in which you will work.

Dress smartly for the interview and leave home earlier than you need to on the day of the interview - you might be delayed by traffic or for other reasons. Be polite to all employees of the company. At the interview itself you must be positive about yourself and your abilities - but don't waffle!

We've compiled a number of possible questions to give you an idea of the sort of questions you might be asked. It will pay dividends if you can prepare thoughtful responses in advance to the most likely questions you could be asked at interview.
