This course is the second in our series on how to get that dream job or get onto that dream course, and it is designed to help you once you’ve made it through to that all important interview. Being offered an interview for a job or course is an extremely positive but also scary prospect. So we’ve put together a set of tools to help you prepare and perform at your very best.
Skip to 0 minutes and 42 seconds We’ll show you how to research the organisation, to arm you with as much information as possible, to show that you’re right for the role. We’ll show you what to wear and what not to wear, and we’ll go through some common interview questions and tips on how best to answer them. We’ll have insights from employers from a range of different industries, along with admissions tutors giving their tips on what they look for in an interview candidate, and what makes the best and worst impression on them. We’ll also give instructions on dealing with different types of interview, from telephone interviews to video interviews, and show you how to give painless presentations.
