Preparing for an interview

If you have been selected for an interview then you have passed the first stage. Your application or CV must have made a good impression. Well Done.

Now you need to prepare yourself to make sure your interview goes well.

Do some research about the business you could be working for if successful.

• What do they do/sell/make?
• Who are their customers?
• What sort of organisation are they?
• What exactly will the job involve?
• What sort of person are they looking for?
• How can you best fit your skills to match the job?

Plan for the interview

• Who will be interviewing? If it’s your prospective manager, the interview could be more detailed. If it’s the Personnel Manager, it may be less direct or detailed but could still be testing.
• Will there be a test to take? Find out before the interview and ask for an example of the things you will be asked to do.
