Tips for successful interviewing

Consider your past successes

You can prepare your answers in advance by thinking about past workplace scenarios you've handled effectively. You should be able to describe what happened, how you assessed the situation, and its outcome.

Follow the leader

Listen closely to the words the interviewer uses and the areas they focus on. If you're asked about organizational skills, for example, focus your responses on your attention to detail. Read the job description thoroughly to understand the specific skills you'll be asked about.

Talk about real life

Be able to share real-life situations that demonstrate your best skills and produced real results. 

Wrap it up

Always ask questions when given the opportunity. This helps show your interest.
