Interview Advice (cont.)

The Job

Your Apex Employment consultant will already have given you the basic information about the job (working hours, duties and responsibilities, salary and benefits) but you can always ask more questions. Before you get to the interview you may want to know more about:

• Reporting relationships

• Qualifications and skill levels required

• Opportunities for personal development and training

• Location

The Organisation

By researching the company beforehand you will impress your interviewer with your knowledge of their organisation. Furthermore, this will place you in a strong position to decide if you want to work there.

You will need to research:

• What the organisation does

• The scale of their operations (i.e. national company, local company, small business)

• Its reputation

• Its competitors

• How long it has been in existence

• Management culture

• Staff turnover

• Its current performance in its marketplace
