About this course

An interview is the point at which weeks of searching converge. The application got you into the room; from here the employer is deciding whether you can do the work, whether you will actually do it, and whether they want to work with you. Most candidates prepare badly — they reread their CV, worry, and arrive hoping to seem impressive. The candidates who do well prepare **evidence**: specific examples matched to what the employer said they need, rehearsed aloud, delivered in a structure the listener can follow. That is a learnable process, not a personality trait. This course covers preparation, the question types and how to answer them, the formats you will encounter, managing nerves, and the review habit that makes each interview better than the last.
