interviews


How can the Careers Service help you prepare?

  • Attend talk on "Performing Well at Interviews" which runs in semesters 1 and 2  - see events section for details.
     

  • Book a mock interview with a Careers Adviser. This usually lasts around 45 minutes and will include feedback on your performance and advice for further preparation. You will need to bring a copy of your application form or CV to Reception at least 2 days before the interview to allow the Adviser to prepare appropriate questions.
