Before you go for your interview.

When you receive the call saying we would like you to come along for interview. Think about what things you might be asked by the interviewers. And try to be as natural as you can be, if you pretend to be something you arent people soon see through you. When you answer any questions on the interview answer  honestly its no good pretending you have certain grades if you don’t most companies check.

What do you feel you can offer the job?

Think about your strength’s and weaknesses. With strengths try not to appear arrogant with your answers, answering in the third person is a useful way of appearing modest but complimentary in your answers “My friends tell me…..”, “My work colleagues say that im…….”. If you are asked about your weaknesses turn things into positives by saying “collegues tell me that I work to hard…..” or “that im very meticulous…….”

What are your reasons for wanting to work here?

As you have looked at their website or spoken to somebody that works there, you will know what it is about the company that you like and how well you feel you would fit in there. Saying that the company is the place you would like to further your career and would very much enjoy the challenge of the role.

If you are asked, Why you are leaving your present role?

Don’t be negative about your present employer, this could make the interviewer feel you are a troublesome employee. Use terms like “ready for a new challenge” to let them know you are just moving forward with your career.
