🎤 Interviews

🗓️ Before the interview

• Read the job advert again
• Find out a little about the employer
• Plan your journey and do a practice run if you can
• Practise answers to common questions with someone
• Choose clean, tidy clothes

❓ Common questions

• Tell me about yourself.
• Why do you want this job?
• What are you good at?
• Tell me about a time you worked in a team.
• When can you work?
• Do you have any questions for us?

🤝 Reasonable adjustments

If you have a disability or additional needs, you can ask for changes that help you show what you can do. This might be extra time, questions in writing, a quiet room, a break, or bringing a support worker. Employers must make reasonable adjustments. Access to Work can also help pay for support at interviews, such as a communication support worker.

😊 On the day

• Arrive 10 minutes early
• Say hello, smile and try to make eye contact if you are comfortable
• Listen carefully. It's OK to ask them to repeat a question
• Take your time before you answer
• Thank them at the end

🔁 Afterwards

If you don't get the job, ask for feedback. Every interview is good practice for the next one.
