Interview Tips |
|
|
Preparing for the questions you will be asked in interviews
People prepare for job interview questions in many ways. Often people will write specific answers to as many specific questions as possible and memorise the answers. |
|
|
We recommend |
| |
looking at categories of questions and using outline answers. |
|
|
With practice |
| |
you will hit all the important points and although your answer will be slightly different each time, it will come across naturally and with confidence. |
|
|
The key |
| |
is to be able to think during the interview and adjust your answer to fit the question. For example, take the category of "General Experience". The answer to the question, "How does your current position qualify you for the job?" is simply a variation of your answer to the question, "How does your experience qualify you for the job?". |
