Two way communication

Interviews are two way meetings, not just an opportunity for the interviewer to find out about you but also an opportunity for you to find out more about the company and the position.  Analyse the job description and prepare a list of questions you would like to ask, some examples are:

• What are the opportunities for career progression?
• What are the training opportunities?
• What, in your opinion, are the major reasons why someone should join this company?
• How long will it take you to make a final decision?

Remember that this is your opportunity to make sure that the position and the company are right for you.

Make sure the employer knows the benefits of employing you.  It is important to sell yourself by telling the employer details of your relevant skills and experience that you have to contribute to the organisation. Find out what the key parts of the candidate specification are so you can show how you meet them.
