Interviews
The purpose of an interview is to demonstrate that you can do what your resume, CV or LinkedIn says you can do. Interviews are also a way for you and your employer to get to know each other, and demonstrate why you are the best candidate for the position.
Interview questions are designed to either showcase your past performance or to predict how you would behave in work situations. The objective of your answers are to paint a compelling picture of yourself, and bring your past experiences and training, your values, and your skills and strengths, to life.
When potential employers or hiring managers experience your personality, the quality of your answers and the level of engagement or enthusiasm in the interview, they can begin to imagine how you'll fit with the role, the team and the organization you're being hired for.
Interviews are also a chance for you to find out whether you would like this new role, the environment, and the people you would be working with. Explore the tabs below to access useful tips on how to make the most out of your interview preparation and delivery.
