Sometimes you may be asked to arrange for an interview on telephone, or to
discuss the position, So you must prepare for what you are
going to say.
Speak clearly, and have full details of your qualifications with you.

You may be asked a few questions over the
telephone, most likely of the type you would normally be
asked at interview.
YOUR INTERVIEW:
Now
let us assume that you have been asked to attend for interview.
Your chance of getting the job is now much nearer to fruition, but, you
can still fall down at this hurdle, and many do!
At the interview the person or persons you
will see, will be deciding whether you are suitable for the job, and you will be given the opportunity to decide whether or
not you still want the job , and to ask any questions you may
have.
Being on time for the interview is important. Allow yourself plenty of time and make sure you know where the place
is and how to get there - before the day of your
interview.
You must bear in mind that the person who will interview you
is human and there are many faults that he or she will
overlook at interview, but sometimes it will not be possible to do
so.
No-one minds you being nervous. It's to be expected, so don't let it worry you into a far worse state.
A little nervousness will not ruin your chances - looking untidy, or even
dirty will!
I am not suggesting that you go to your interview in a tailored suit for nowadays casual attire is usually suitable - if the overall impression is one of cleanliness.

By this I mean that if you must wear jeans, then please make sure that
they are clean and tidy
It is always a good idea to ask yourself
(if you were carrying out the interview) how you would like your
interviewees to look.
A quick press of your clothes and a little polish on your shoes go a long way to creating a good impression.

Now let's assume that you do look the part.
Have you thought about the questions you are likely to be
asked at the interview?
Do you know anything about the job? Do you know anything about your potential employers?
Do you know anything about the job? Do you know anything about your potential employers?
Do you know why you want the job? NO? Well, unless you end up being the best of a bad bunch, it looks as though you are about to trip over your next hurdle.
At virtually every interview, certain
questions are inevitable. For example: Why do you want the job?
Why do you think you are the right person for the job? What do you think the job involves?
Why do you think you are the right person for the job? What do you think the job involves?
What do you know of the organization involved? If you can't answer these questions,
however briefly, then you haven't done your homework.
Usually the interview will commence with the
interviewer telling you something about the job and the organization,
and then he will probably ask you some questions.
You may then discuss the job and its prospects.
You may then discuss the job and its prospects.
The final stage will probably be an invitation to you to ask any questions you
may have.
It's always extremely good policy to find out something about the job and its environment before you go to the interview.
How? Ask friends, ask relatives. Ask the organization itself for information (a nice one this - shows you are interested ).

Don't sell yourself short at interview.
If they ask you why you want to be, say a nurse, if the answer is "I never really thought about it",
I'm afraid you'll probably have had it!
If they ask you what you think a nurse does, don't say "I don't know", unless you really don't know.

And it all you know about it is from watching those hospital programs on
telly, I mean Television, you will have something to say, won't you?
So make use of the people and things around you, and prepare for that interview, before you go.

Remember at the interview to speak clearly,
be polite, and look at your interviewer, or interviewers.
Thank your interviewer when you are about to leave.

This always creates a good and friendly impression.
Best Of Luck To You.
