They’ll explain how a little insider knowledge can give you that much needed ‘edge’ in interview.

They’ll also be sharing some of their own personal experiences, whilst giving important tips and tricks on how you too can Interview with confidence.

Key Takeaways:

  • Knowing where the role you’re going for fits in with the wider structure of the company/organisation is key - after all, you may be questioned on this!
  • A little bit of research can go a long way and give you that ‘edge’ in interview, setting you apart from the competition.
  • Being prepared to answer questions about the company/organisation will reduce your interview nerves and anxiety.
  • There are a number of free resources out there to help you start your research. Check out the websites mentioned in the Podcast at: www.glassdoor.co.uk , uk.indeed.com , https://www.thejobcrowd.com/
