Interviews
The key to succeeding at interviews is preparation . You can tell when someone has prepared for their interview , and it will show you are motivated and dedicated .
Being prepared will also help you feel more confident and help to lower any pre‐interview worries .
Before the interview you should :
Research the college , university or company .
Check the course or job description – prepare examples of how your skills and experience meet these requirements .
On the day of the interview :
Aim to arrive 10 minutes before your interview is due to begin .
Introduce yourself confidently and politely – first impressions count !
Read your application again – what you ’ ve written in the application is the reason you ’ ve been invited to an interview .
Plan your journey – how are you going to get there , do you have a back-up plan ?
Make sure you have suitable interview clothes .
Have your documents ready – if you ’ ve been asked to bring ID or certificates , make sure you have these ready .
