Interview Techniques

Congratulations! - you have been offered an interview. You don't get to the interview stage unless the employer believes you can do the job. Your CV has already been good enough to attract their interest and make them want to see you - it is now up to you to maximise the advantage you have.

Most people are not aware of how much control they do have over the interview process - you supply all the information about yourself. The interviewer does control the structure, but you provide the information and decisions can only be made upon this. Most questions can be predicted so prepare your answers.

The following sections include some tips for what to do before and during an interview.

• Before the interview - preparation and questions
• Types of interview
• On the day
• Body language
