Interview Questions

Interview preparation is essential and is made easier these days by the amount of corporate information available on the internet - nearly every company has its own website. One question that is nearly always asked in various guises during an interview "what do you know about the company" - interviews have been won and lost by this answer as the employer is keen to learn if you have taken the time to research the company and besides how can you be expected to work for a company you know nothing about?

The other main question, which again is asked in various disguises "why do you want to work for the company?" Again think about your answer before the interview.

The job description can also give you an insight to what the employer is expecting from you and can also help you to draft your CV and Cover Letter accordingly to emphasise your strong points that best match the company's requirements.

Interview practice also helps you to prepare for the interview - so get family and friends to ask you questions from our list of interview questions and tips. Or practice using a video camera or tape recorder if you have one - preparing for an interview is the key to success in securing a job.

Also, review your CV and try to anticipate questions you maybe asked to do with your education or past employers, particularly if you have a possible weakness in your CV such as short employment periods or lack of related work experience.

Most interviews now incorporate Personality Testing - Psychometric Tests and aptitude reasoning tests. Examples of these types of tests can be found on the internet - so practice as much as you can before the interview.
