1.

Focus on your experience, skills, and the
why you want the job.
3.
Before you go to a job interview, take some time to closely consider your strengths and weaknesses.
4.
You might not be sure what weaknesses to mention in an interview and which to leave out. That’s OK.
5.
But if you are asked, be
and don’t lie, but do not choose something that implies you would not be good for the position.
6.
For example, it may not be a good idea to tell the interviewer that you’re always late or can’t remain calm in stressful situations.
7.
When it comes to your strengths, first consider which of your qualities other people
the most, and what compliments you’ve been given in the past.
8.
For example, maybe someone thinks that you are very good at organising events, or that you work well in a team.
9.
Another tip: Asking questions yourself just might
that you land the position.
10.
You can show interest in a typical workday or your future
11.
While it’s okay to ask about the pay rate, you should not make your questions all about the
you will get every month.
