Having a small list of questions prepared before going into the interview is also very important. You are showing an interest in the company and the position you have applied for. By having no questions you may be showing a lack of interest which will be seen as a negative on your part.You may find that all of your questions have been answered during the interview process, don’t worry and don’t feel that you still need to ask the questions and get the interviewers to repeat themselves. Just let them know that you had some questions but they have all been answered whilst you have been talking.

Before the interview it is sometimes good to practice the interview process with a friend or in your head. Practice the answers you are likely to give to key interview questions about the position you are applying for. Think about and practice how you would respond calmly and confidently. Many interviewers will ask you to give examples of real life scenarios where you may have been in a position of responsibility or under pressure of a deadline, etc. Think about what situation you will use in this scenario and how you will describe it to the interviewer. A confident and knowledgeable manner is important when answering your questions and try not to be too evasive with your answers.
