25.01.2022 It’s time for the interview! So what is a Job Interview? It’s a chance for the employer to find out about you (and the kind of person you are). It’s a time to see if you are suitable for the job, and for the employer to ask you about your skills, qualifications and experience. Also, they will be looking to see how you will get along with other staff. If you have any questions about the job, now is a good time ask them.
