If you're currently counting down the days until your next job interview, these 10 top tips below will help you when you are in the interview room!

Part 2: The Actual

1. If you have prepared well, i.e. you know about the job you are applying for, you know your CV or what you originally wrote on your application form and you know something about the company, then you should feel confident to answer any question that the interviewer may ask.
2. If you are asked a question you do not understand, ask the interviewer to repeat it or re-phrase how they’ve asked it.
3. Don’t worry about stopping to think before you answer. Again this shows that you are thinking carefully about your answer rather than rushing your responses.
4. Try to avoid answering with just a ‘Yes’ or a ‘No’
5. Remember, the interviewer is interested in you as a person and what experiences you’ve had. Be prepared to expand on your CV or application form.
6. Remember those really important manageable skills.  You may have learnt them in your current or previous job role or maybe in your personal life or outside interest.  
7. The interviewer should be looking for evidence that you can do what you’ve said you can.
8. If you are asked how you deal with problems at work, keep your answers positive and think of suggestions for how you would like things to improve.
9. If you need to ask questions during the interview, keep them brief. There should be time at the end of the interview for you to ask any questions you may have.
10. Never run down or make negative comments about your current employer. And don’t emphasise any difficulties you may have had with a manager – this could send the wrong message.
