How to Prepare for a Job Interview
If you've been invited to an interview then congratulations, you've passed the first test.

We've collated our top job interview tips based off our industry knowledge to help you successfully conquer the hurdles of an interview.
There's nothing more embarrassing than walking into a job interview disorganised. The interviewer will assume you lack interest in the job. Who are their clients? Who are their main competitors? You could even research current trends relevant to the industry. Not only will this additional research show that you really want the job, you'll be able to hold a relevant conversation with the interviewer.
Interviews can bring out the nerves in even the most confident people and the last thing you want is to be faced with unexpected interview questions. Hate to sound cliche, however practice makes perfect. You can view our video on the most common interview questions and answers. Recreate the interview with a friend, your sister, your nephew to practice. If you're having trouble recalling your responses, our tip is to use cues in your notes to trigger what you want to talk about, such as 'football club' or 'management course'.
The last thing you want is to have done your company research and practiced your interview questions to only get a strike because you were late to your job interview. Try on your whole wardrobe, choose what you want to wear and iron out the creases the night before. Keep all your important documents such as your CV, cover letter, work or qualification certificates in one folder.

What to Wear to a Job Interview
Job Interview Clothing Tips
Firstly congratulations on securing yourself an interview. Appearance does matter when it comes to making a first impression however the question is, 'what should I wear to a job interview?' We have collated top industry tips to help you decide your interview outfit.
The first thing you should do is research the culture of the company or ask people you know who are in the same industry. Is it a professional office environment where employees wear suits and ties everyday? Or is it a more casual workplace wear t-shirts and jeans are okay?
You should always be smart in an interview, aiming to dress the same dress code as the company or be a little smarter. The statement you can never be too smart does most of the time hold true. If you're going to get it wrong you should be too smart than not smart enough.
You should according to the season. If it's the middle of summer and you've decided to wear a full-length suit to your interview, why not replace it with just a smart, light-coloured shirt? Just make sure your clothes are neatly ironed and pressed as wrinkled clothing says you lack attention to detail. Women, do no wear anything that is too revealing or overdo your makeup. Whilst heavy eyeshadow, eyeliner and bright coloured lipstick may make you feel most confident, it is best to keep it as natural as possible.

Job Interview Questions & Answers
Hard Interview Questions
'What are your weaknesses?' 'If you were an animal, what animal would you be, and why?' These are just a small sample of the most difficult questions you'll be asked in your interview. And while some questions are easier to answer, others may leave you stumbled or silent. So how do you ensure the meeting with your potential employer goes as smoothly as possible? Like any of the other stages of the job hunting process, preparation is crucial. We have collated 3 of the most frequently asked interview questions and answers to help guide you through it.
One of the most common interview questions, interviewers love to start off asking is, 'tell me about yourself...' because 1. they want to know more about you and 2. because they want to see how you react when put on the spot. After all, first impressions do matter. This is your opportunity to take control and impress them by briefly covering your work history and experience, education and interests. Note: Don't share your life story and try and keep it to a maximum of 2-3 minutes.
First, you need to be honest with yourself. As replying with 'I don't have any weaknesses', is the worst answer you could give them. You don't want your potential employer jotting down that you're pretentious or lack self awareness. Instead you should disguise your weakness with one of your strengths. For example 'I often say yes to too many projects and become overwhelmed with my workload but now I've learnt to prioritise what's most important.'
When the interviewer asks you where do you see yourself in five years time, this is your chance to let your ambition shine. You should talk about your ideal kind of job and the proactive steps you're going to take to get there so the interviewer knows you've thought about the future. They're also trying to confirm that this isn't just a time filler for you.
While each job interview is different, you can't predict what the interviewer will ask you but by preparing for the interview, you will lead with confidence.
