Interviews can be very daunting, particularly if it is your first; you have only experienced one or two or have had a bad or embarrassing experience. The main thing to remember is…don’t panic!

The employer will have an idea of your qualifications, skills and experience from your application form so the interview is your opportunity to demonstrate your abilities and personality, as well as your chance to find out whether the setting and position is the right one for you.

These hints and tips are designed to help you with the interview process, and help to make it run as smoothly as possible.
