              INTERVIEWS  CAN VARY
                 TREMENDOUSLY


           Some  may  be  extremely  casual,  others  formal  but  whatever  the  style  of
           interview you need to be organised

           Getting Yourself Organised

           Make quite certain you know:-

           •     Where the firm is. If you are uncertain, go and look
           •     Where the interview is to be held (in a large complex it would be
                 easy to go to the wrong department)
           •     How  you  will  get to the  interview, and how long the journey  will
                 take
           •     Think about the questions you may like to ask
           •     Learn as much as you can about the firm and what it does
           •     In particular, find out everything possible about the type of work for
                 which you are applying
           •     Remember  everything  about  yourself  following  the  self  appraisal
                 exercise
           •     Look at your letter of application or C.V. to
                 remind yourself of what you wrote

           Smarten Up Your Interview Outfit

           You  don't  have  to,  wear  something  brand  new  or
           very  expensive  but  make  sure  you  have  something
           smart and simple

           All employers like to think you've made an effort to
           look good.

           Smartness shows you've taken trouble and that may
           give you the edge over the next candidate. Be honest
           and  ask  yourself:  If  you  dressed  like  this  for  an
           interview would you get the job
