Interviews

• Do prepare before hand - it makes a big difference.
  
  
• Do have an opinion - avoid answering yes or no all the time.
  
  
• Do look good - appearance does matter.
  
  
• Do turn up on time.
  
  
• Do not talk for ages - 2 minutes is good.
  
  
• Do not raise the topic of money.
  
  
• Do ask a couple of good questions at the end.

The interviewer needs to establish the answers to the following key questions:

• Why are you applying to this company and not someone else?
  
  
• What can you do for me?
  
  
• How well will we work together?
  
  
• Why you and not someone else?
  
  
• How much will you cost me?

The key questions you really need to answer for yourself are:

• What job am I really being offered here?
  
  
• Do I have the skills to do this job?
  
  
• Can I get on with these people?
  
  
• What makes me different from others who could do this job?
  
• Does this job pay me enough?
