Interview Techniques.

Do's and Dont's:

• DO dress smartly,look bright and attentive, and speak clearly and confidently.
• DO prepare answers for the main questions - for example, why do you want the job, what are your strengths and weaknesses, what are the main tasks in this job?
• DO prepare some questions to ask at the end of the interview - use it as an opportunity to find out more about the role and the company.
• DO keep your answers focused on what you can do for the employer, not what they can do for you.
• DON'T be late.
• DON'T slouch in your seat or do anything that makes you look uninterested.
• DON'T be arrogant and assume you've got the job. Nothing turns off employers more than someone who is disrespectful and over-confident.
• DON'T criticise former employers or colleagues. Interviewers may mark you down as a troublemaker and a gossip.

Typical Questions:

What are your strengths and weaknesses?

What can you do for us that other candidates can't?

Why do you want to work here?

What are your goals?

Where do you see yourself in five years time?

How would you describe yourself?

What experience have you got from previous jobs?
