Interview preparation

Now walk in prepared. Practise the questions almost every interviewer asks, and use these simple tips to make a strong impression.

Read their website and recent news. Be ready to say, specifically, why you want to work there.

Interviewers ask about what's on the page. Be ready to expand on every role and achievement.

Use the STAR method — Situation, Task, Action, Result — to answer "tell me about a time…" questions.

Aim to be there 10–15 minutes before. Confirm the venue and transport the day before.

Neat, professional attire that suits the workplace. When unsure, dress one notch smarter.

Always ask one or two thoughtful questions — it shows genuine interest in the role.
