Okay, let's start off.

Can you tell me when you worked as part of a team to achieve a difficult task, they're going to say to you.

Okay, tell me about yourself and why you are suited to this role.

So you should have this answer ready.

Here's my sample.

Answer for this question.

Tell me about itself.

I am a hardworking, enthusiastic and professional team worker who takes pride in their work and their standards.

Now having studied the job advert on the job description.

The essential skills needed to perform the role well, I believe, are a perfect match for my own attributes.

I'm at the stage in my life where stability is really important, and I would like this job so that I could realize my career goals and also work for a forward thinking, innovative company who has exciting plans for the future.

I believe that if you give me the opportunity to work for you, you will be impressed with my work ethic, my professionalism on dhe commitment to the rock.

They will expect you to be nervous.

I don't have much experience, but I can do a good job.

That in itself is negative.

Medicinal center.

Sell yourself.

Don't mention anything about your lack of experience.

Just persuade them that you are the right person for the job.

Don't say this.

I want to leave my job because I don't particularly get on well with my boss or there are a couple of people I don't like in the team or the company is boring now to work with.

They're not moving forward in the right direction.

If you think about it.

If someone was saying that to you.

An interview.

Also, don't mention anything about Oh, I've got some holidays coming up in a few weeks time.

And don't say to them how much leave do I get?

What's his salary for this job?
