Regardless of the nature of the position, remember that at an interview you should conduct yourself as someone selling a valuable product. This valuable product is YOU, with all your skills, qualifications and experience.

Always research a company before an interview - using annual reports, newspapers, internet or a call to the Company. You should not appear to be just looking for a job. You should give the impression that you have researched the Company and the job and that both were desirable.

Before an interview, try to identify what the employer is looking for by analyzing the job advertisement in the following way:

• What skills is the employer looking for?

• What type of person?

• What experience?

• Ensure that you can answer these questions and be able to use examples from:

• Academic Qualifications, Work Experience, Personal Experiences and Achievements.
