Interview Advice
WINNING THE INTERVIEW GAME
It’s a fact that the best candidate doesn’t always get the job.
However, the candidate who performs really well at interview has the odds stacked in their favor. There is no substitute for interview preparation.
To win the interview game you need to sell your skills, build rapport with the interviewer, reveal positive attitudes and opinions and speak clearly and confidently. Above all, you must demonstrate the relevance of your skills and the benefit of your experience to prospective employers. If you have experience which is appropriate to the job in question – be sure you present this.
Interview Tips

- Know the company you are interviewing for, they will like to know that you have taken the time to fully research their firm
- Know the names of the people who are interviewing you
