Interviewing

What is an interview? The interview is your chance to display your knowledge, skills and expertise and a chance for the employer to get to know you. Interviews can be over the phone, face-to-face or via video conference. It is an opportunity for both you and the employer to get to know each other and determine if there is a good fit between your skills and expertise and the employer’s needs.
