Im really scared about it. If i dont get in im not sure what i'll do. Also i'll be as much as 5 hours away from mummy bears cooking and launderette service. Any interview tips lads?

BigDave15 Posted April 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Iv got one, tell them how much you know about the countryside and shooting sports you shoot your self they would much rather some one who loves the countryside rather than some one with A+ and A stars. + If you want cooking and washing your mum could mail it to you you could have an account with parcel Force !

Columbus Polumbus Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Hey EGNWT (soz cant type out all your name) When I interview at work we use a technique called either a funnel or star (they mean the same thing) it goes like this... S = Situation T = Task A = Action R = Results I open with a question, in this case eg "tell me EGNWT have you any experience of the countryside"? This is the situation ok. You respond with the usual yes and expand on that..... They then ask you about a particular task you completed in your previous answer So you answer that you tell them what the task was ok They will then ask you to describe the actions you took to complete the task You tell them what YOU did but at this point you SHOULD say somewhere in your answer " I was as part of the team responsible for ....... blah, blah, blah......... ACTION And finally they will ask you what was the result of your actions ie what happened or what was the results? You say I achieved this an that etc.... So you see the process is like a funnel it opens up with broad questions and then they pick points out of your answer that will give them a understanding of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 Welcome back Big Dave, its good to hear you have been concentrating on school work. I was getting worried, I thought you may have stowed away to Canada, or the US. egnwt, best of luck with the interview . I was a Personnel Manager at one time and conducted quite a few interviews. Be careful with the eye contact. Don,t stare at them too much, or they might think you are a bit nutty. A good tip, is to smile, relax and be pleasant. Also go armed with a few questions to ask them.
