Taking on Tough Graduate Interviews


To be offered an interview for a graduate job is a great achievement so there is no space for half efforts when you meet face to face. One excellent technique to ensure you're prepared is to work out the questions that you would least like to be asked and prepare water-tight answers. Thoroughly research and practise a plausible reply that can be delivered in a cool, composed manner if the situation presents itself. This could be anything from gaps between work, what you think your weaknesses are or a low grade in a certain area. Don't be defensive, highlight the good points and how you have, or will, adapt to move the conversation back into a positive light.
