  • Study any recent press cuttings about the company, and try to slip your up to date knowledge into conversation.

  • You may like to practice your responses to some of the more common interview questions, and prepare a list yourself of questions that you want to ask.

  • Prepare your interview resources before the day, you will need to take a couple of copies of your CV, a reference list, and if possible some examples of work you have done in the past.
