• Chapter 4 will also help your confidence by supporting you to collect facts and information regarding your key experiences , strengths and development requirements .
• Chapter 7 will focus on helping you to manage your mental attitude on the day : how to cope with the pressure , manage your attitude and / or nervousness .
• Chapter 8 offers advice on how to structure and deliver a presentation at an interview – only relevant if this is part of your interview process , which is not always the case .
