Interviews

Welcome to your new world! You’ve probably not realised it but you are now a performer and a salesperson, These are skilled roles and you are going to have to deliver them successfully to secure your next job.

Make no doubt about it during an interview you will be performing and selling yourself to an audience, be it one person, a board of people, or an assessment centre. Preparation and rehearsals are crucial, but how do you perform effectively and how can you improve your chances of success? 

It is now usual practice to be telephone interviewed, face-to-face interviewed, secondary interviewed, and even a third interview where you are likely to need to make a presentation on a subject defined by the potential employer. In recent years it has become increasingly common for candidates to be asked to provide a self-made video where they introduce themselves and make a personal statement about ‘This demonstrates why I am right for this job’
