Have you thoroughly researched the company and can you enthuse about why you want to work there?

laughoutquiet · 25/06/2021 09:05

@DownWhichOfLate yes and that's why I really want this job!! 😁. They seem to be really great employers.

Don't tell them you hate micromanagement like I did in mine the other day. Ive been waited for my call back and I'm just cringing constantly.

Some questions I didn't expect were 'what kind of people don't you work well with' and tell me '4 words that your current colleagues would use to describe you.'

Good luck!

Have some questions ready to ask them - I usually go with:

  • How do you enjoy your job? and would you recommend this company to a friend?
  • What do you see as the main priorities for my first month in the role?

Best of luck!!

really great employers.

Good to return the favour and be clear about what you would do for them.

Great employers so that I will ....

Good luck.

If they ask any “competency” based questions ie: tell me about a time when…
Use the STAR technique to answer
Situation
Task
Action
Result

Making sure the action ie what YOU did is beefed up as much as possible.
