Find a Job In Cardiff, Interview Tips

In these challenging economic times the jobs market has become increasingly competitive. We spoke to the one of the graduate programme directors on the Unilever Graduate Leadership Programme and asked them what they looked for during their final assessment days. Hopefully these tips below may help you to find and get that job in Cardiff.

• If the job you are applying for is not degree specific the company will be looking for the way you interpret and use the information presented to you through out the day. You should therefore not worry about your lack of marketing experience for example.

• You may have stated that you were a team player when you applied for that Cardiff based job, however the company will want to see it in any group exercise you undertake. So if you find there is one person in the group who is not getting a chance to contribute ask them what they think. Also compliment others on the business points made and see if there is anything that you can add to them.

• If you have to do a presentation exercise make sure that the points are either clearly laid out or viewable in the form of a flip chart or piece of paper. This will help you assessor to take in all that you are trying to get across.
  

• Be passionate in your interview if you can get across how enthusiastic you are about things that you have enjoyed in your life the interviewer will appreciate it.
  

• When asked to provide examples of when you have achieved something do not forget to pull upon any experiences you may have gained when working in part time, temporary or full time jobs. If you can bend one of these examples to help provide evidence to back up an answer in an interview it will benefit you.

• Make sure you know in your mind why you want the job that has been advertised, why did you apply for it and what skills do you think you could bring to it.
  

We hope these tips help you on your way to finding either a temporary or full time job in Cardiff. If you have any queries on the above or want to know more information please email us.
