If you are invited to attend an interview, here's some useful advice to help you succeed.

Interview advice

  • Do your homework. Before your interview, find out as much as you can about us, the job you have applied for and the business area it is in. This will help you feel more prepared and confident.
  • Review your CV and application. Think about the types of questions we will be asking you. These may relate to the job, your experience and your personal qualities.
  • Think about specific situations you want to share with us. We'll tell you in advance what we're looking for so you can prepare some topics that demonstrate your capabilities and experiences.
  • Review the job description for the role. Why are you interested in working with us? What makes you a good fit with what we are looking for? What do you think you have to offer us?
  • Prepare questions you want to ask us. If you can, find out who you will be meeting, their name and what they do. The interview is also your chance to find out more about us, the role you have applied for and whether we are the right company for you.
  • Bring a copy of your CV/resume and application. Make sure you can talk in further detail about what you've referenced in it.
  • Present yourself well. Ask what the dress code is, maintain good eye contact and look interested - body language makes a difference to how you come across.
  • Write down where your interview will be held and allow plenty of time to get there. Don't forget to let us know if there are any reasons for you not being able to attend or if you are running late.
  • Get plenty of rest the night before. Try to be as relaxed as possible so you'll feel at your best.

Above all, the most important thing is to be yourself and, remember, that we want you to do well too!
