Before

  • Prepare answers for the main questions. For example-tell me about yourself, what is your motivation for this role, what are your strengths and weaknesses

  • Prepare some questions to ask at the end of an interview, use it as an opportunity to find out more about the role and the company
  • When discussing salary know your market worth and always quote slightly higher!
