Have you ever felt that you were perfect for a job, but just couldn’t convey this in the interview?
You probably put it down to nerves, but the real culprit is usually a lack of preparation. Since most of us get few opportunities to practise being interviewed, it is surprising that we often choose to leave this, the most important element of a job application, to the last minute.
Thorough preparation is, therefore, your best defence against nerves. Done correctly, it will ensure that you are equipped to answer any question in a way that presents you, your skills and experience in the best possible light.
