Some hints to help you get prepared:

• Read the job description fully so that you understand what you are applying for.
• Read you application again as the interviewers are likely to ask you to expand on some of the points you make in it.
• Practice giving examples of how you can demonstrate key skills related to the role (you could do this with a friend or in front of the mirror)
• Research the organisation/company on the internet.
• Think of a few questions to ask the interviewer at the end. These should help demonstrate your interest and knowledge of the role.
• Make sure you know where you are going for the interview and arrive in good time.
