Interview Preparation

Rocking up to a job interview without having done a little homework is like attending an audition for a film you know nothing about.

Sure, your CV looks the part, you nailed the initial telephone interview with your business banter and unstoppable drive. Though when you sit down in front of a judging panel, it's time to go big or go home.

A little pre-planning will not only arm you with key insights into the business and their culture, it will also show you're keen, committed and in it for a solid career rather than a nine to fiver.

Whether you're brushing up on background, practising your poise or in search of those killer questions to seal the deal, we've put together plenty of pointers to tweak your technique.
