How to shine at interview

Article Abstract:

Executive Action Careers Consultant Nigel Urwin points out interviewees must listen carefully to questions, try to make their answers relevant and use past incidents to give examples of how problems were solved. The candidate should be prepared to admit to having a weakness but also be ready to point out how they are trying to get over any difficulty. Going through a CV may help calm the interviewee. The initial impression made by a candidate is vital. The candidate should smile and give a firm handshake. All papers should be well prepared and carried in a suitable case.
