What to Expect
Interviews come in many forms including panel interviews, one to one interviews and group interviews.
You may be asked to take a test before the interview,
depending on the type of organisation. 
These
might consist of psychometric or aptitude tests.
There are many different interview styles and each interviewer will have their own personal style. Some interviewers will ask questions while others will start with an open question such as "tell me about yourself" leaving you to do most of the talking. The majority of interviews will be somewhere between the two. Be prepared for any style of interview.
Two-Way Communication
- Make sure the employer knows the benefits of employing you. It is important to sell yourself by telling the employer details of your relevant skills and experience and how you can contribute to their organisation
- Study the job/person skills specification before your interview.
- Ask how the job contributes to the success, efficiency and profitability of the organisation.
- Show you have carried out research and know about the organisation .
The Next Steps
Agree exactly what the next steps will be, such as who will contact you
and let you know if you have been successful and by when.
You should find out if there will be a second interview.
Top Tips
