"Ok so after being a stay at home Mum for the past 4 years i'm finally dipping my toe back into the world of work and i've got a job interview coming up, what the hell do I do now??????? Any tips? I'm sooo out of practice, I had my last job for 11 years so it's been a long time since I had something like this. I'm mega nervous too " Be yourself | |||

"First of all, good luck! This will be a long post, but I weirdly quite like interviews (I know!). I know this is easier said than done, but do try to relax: remember, you also need to make sure you like them and their company so it's not a complete one-way street. Listen carefully to the question asked and respond: don't try to shoehorn any prepared answers in, just because you've learnt them. Draw on them but adapt. Structure your answer to help yourself so you don't get sidetracked - e.g. "To deliver this successfully, I did three things..." (three is always good). For me, it's always about showing what you did and the outcome rather than loads on why you were doing it. Use "I" not "we"! And eye contact (but not staring) - don't talk into the table!" first of all good luck some great advice here I would add try a be specific with examples you as answers as advised answer I as they want to know you did it and always say what the outcome/end result was whether the outcome is positive or negative. | |||

" 100%. And it's reminded me - always be ready for the "is there anything you would have done differently?" Or "what did you learn from that?" follow up (or show you took time to learn and reflect on the outcome in your answer!) | |||

"Good luck with your interview. Wear something smart, be quietly confident, smile and have a look online at common interview questions. Once question I've been asked at interviews recently is... How do you work as part of a team? Give me an example of how you worked in that team and what role you played and what was the outcome. I also find the question "what's your weakness' difficult to answer too. I hope it goes well." I answered “flapjacks” to the what’s your weakness question, got a laugh at least. Only advice I’d add is have a bit of a read up about the company in case they ask you. Best of luck | |||

"Hi Op, Have you had your job interview yet ? I commented previously about how I was having one today. I think mine went well, scheduled for 45 minutes but went on for a hour and a half. Had a laugh together at the end. If you’ve not had yours yet, good luck " Good luck with the outcome | |||
