We’ve previously covered typical job interview questions but one theme that will come up time and time again in job interviews is YOU.

If you have sent out your resume template to an employer and been selected for a job interview – well done! But this could automatically leave you feeling nervous about your interview preparation. One effective way of preparing for an interview is practice!

You’ve attended a job interview, answered all of the questions brilliantly and left feeling confident. If you then receive a call informing you that you haven’t got the job, it can be easy to feel confused and disheartened. What went wrong?

Temping opportunities are usually easier to find than full time work. You can look for jobs through a Temping Agency or by applying directly to a company. These jobs are usually more available because they do not require a long term commitment from an employer. But how do you turn a temp position into a full time opportunity?

To ensure your resume gets read and you stand a chance of a job interview, you should concentrate on editing and updating your personal statement.
