There are many different formats for job interviews and knowing what to expect can make a significant difference to your performance and confidence. This practical workshop will help you understand how interviews might vary across different types of organisation, how to prepare effectively, and how to communicate your strengths, skills, and experience with impact. In a small group an employer will take you through some typical questions asked in interviews, providing an opportunity to rehearse responses. You will gain a valuable chance to gain insights into what recruiters are really looking for and build confidence in a realistic but supportive environment. It’s also a great way to expand your professional networks and increase your awareness of different career paths.

Gain experience answering a range of interview questions, including competency and strengths-based formats, and develop practical strategies to manage interview nerves and perform at your best.
