Once you have been offered an interview there is lots of preparation you need to do to ensure you put yourself in the best possible position to showcase your suitability for the role. 

It is totally natural to be nervous prior to your interview, but by preparing thoroughly and doing your research, this will give you the confidence to perform to the best of your ability.

Every interview will differ and may include a number of other ways to assess your experience and competencies which could include a presentation, group discussion, role plays and meeting with different individuals and teams within an organisation.  Each of these means of assessments will have a specific reason to test your skills and ability to do the role.

All interviews however will contain an element of questioning whether on a 1-1, panel or group basis and we have identified our key hints and tips to ensure you understand what is being asked of you and how you can respond to different questions.  We also have a number of example interview questions which you can prepare and practise in advance of your interview.

In the current situation we find ourselves in, it is likely that you will have at least one element of your interview carried out via phone or video, again it is important to prepare for the different ways of communicating.

Finally reflecting and reviewing the interview process is really important to ensure you are more prepared for future interviews and always seek feedback wherever you can to help with your future learning and development.
