How to Prepare for a Job Interview

A practical guide to researching the role, preparing examples, handling common questions and following up.

Start with the role

Read the job or business requirement carefully and identify the responsibilities, required skills and practical outcomes.

Specific examples from work, education, projects or training are usually more useful than broad claims.

Requirements and workplace practices can change. Verify important details with the relevant employer, regulator or authoritative source.

Turn the information into an action such as improving a skill, preparing a document, asking a better question or reviewing a process.
