Interview Skills & Preparation

Congratulations! You have been invited to attend an interview. All your hard work preparing your application has paid off; you have successfully convinced the employer that you have the credentials they are seeking.

During the interview the employer will be looking for evidence that you are capable of doing the job and that you will be a good fit within the organisation. With this at the forefront of your mind, your next step is to thoroughly prepare for the interview; preparation will increase your confidence and your chances of being offered the job.
