Practice your interview skills and build your confidence through accessing resources and opportunities.

Although methods differ across sectors and organisations, an interview will be the primary tool that a recruiter will use to screen and select the most appropriate candidate for a position.

The interview panel will generally ask a variety of scenario-based and technical questions to determine your suitability for the role.  Interviewing professionally is critical for success.  Utilising the STAR technique is an effective way to answer the panels queries whist presenting yourself professionally.
