They're going to be interested in your ideas/personality as well as your presentation so try to have some answers ready for the common questions
What can you bring to the role?
What are your faults (try and think of something that can be a positive ie a perfectionist, too freindly, a bit of a workaholic and do not mention non-punctuality or disorganisation)?
Where do you see yourself in 5/10 years time?
Why do you want this job (don't make the answer about you - make it about your golas, career/the job)?
What do you know about the company (you can bone up on the website)?
Give us an example of a time you have demonstarted leadership/management skills?
Give us an example of a time you have coped with a difficult situation at work?
How would you cope with an angry customer?
etc.
If you think about all the questions you remember from other job interviews and have an answer ready you will be more confident and relaxed which wil help you in the interview.
Don't be afraid to say "can I have a moment to think about this" if you're stumped.
babe if you can't get a woman suit go with a nice tailored shirt. DF's suit may be too baggy and Katies will notice. Please post pics if you would like advice would be more than happy
My candidates should be as concered as you for interviews
Thanks for the tips off to try and get something to wear.
I am completely nervous.
One part of me is asking why i am bothering as I feel like i wont have a chance, especially if there was a alarge number of other applicants, and the other part of me thinks that i will be fine, because my not so serious application got me an interview in the first place. *confused*
That and DF has had to take a day off work to take care of alex as the iLs are away.
Please dont wear a mens suit, and if you do need to just wear the pants not the jacket.
There are some really good suggestions in here, all the best for the interview. They are obviously interested, recruitment is a big expense for companies, they wouldnt be bothering if they werent interested in you.
Knock em dead Ash. You've done the hard job - getting past all the other applicants - they must be considering you for the job to give you an interview. So all you have to do is tell them that you are the best, will be the best, and nobody else will compare to you.
