PREPARATION AND
SELF-APPRAISAL
Preparation for an interview does not begin 5 minutes before you step into
the Personnel Manager's Office. It begins before you even apply for a job
Careful preparation pays dividends and much can be done well in advance
of a job application
Self appraisal is the first step of preparation and helps you to structure your
thoughts for setting down in an application form or Curriculum Vitae (C.V.)
and for the interview itself. Most interviewers have a well-defined
framework of questions which seek to obtain basic information about you
To help you prepare: Think about yourself; about what sort of person you
are; about your strengths and weaknesses; about your likes and dislikes and
about your experiences to date
Don't forget this is about how other people perceive you. The work you
have completed for the National Record of Achievement may be useful
here.
