What will they ask me?<br />

The following questions are often asked at interviews. Try to think how<br />

you would answer them:<br />

“Tell me about yourself”<br />

Don’t give them your life history! Pick out information that is relevant to<br />

work <strong>and</strong> this job.<br />

“Why have you applied for this job/course/apprenticeship?”<br />

Link your interests <strong>and</strong> skills to the vacancy details.<br />

Be enthusiastic.<br />

“What is your best school subject?”<br />

“When can you start?”<br />

“What do you know about us?”<br />

See if the company has a website before you go.<br />

“Have you anything to ask me?”<br />

Any questions should be positive <strong>and</strong> show you are really interested in the<br />

job; for example, you could ask for more information about the training<br />

you will have to do.<br />

If you feel the interviewer has covered everything, say so politely “No, I<br />

think you have covered everything - but when will you let me know if I’ve<br />

been successful, please?”<br />
