Interviews
The Careers Centre has curated this series of resources to help you approach your next interview with a feeling of preparedness and calm. Connect with a careers adviser if you have any questions about the advice collected in them.
In the coming weeks and months, we expect employers to increase their use of telephone and video interviews so we have included several sources of advice about these.
Our online Interview Simulator allows you to choose interview questions from a large bank, then record and play back your answers by video or audio.
To improve your interview skills and performance, consider taking part in a Practice Interview with a careers adviser and/or attend an Interview Skills session. Both of these can be booked on CareerConnect.
