Making sure you stand out at the interview

Making sure you stand out at the interview - In most interviews you will get a range of standard questions that you can prepare well for. These include:
 
What do you know about our company?
Make sure you do your research about the organisation so you can answer these well and with authenticity. You can find great detail of course on their website, but news sources and LinkedIn can give you some great information too.
 
Why do you want to work here?  Through your research, think about what makes this company different and an employer you would like to work for. This could include company culture, industry or perks.
 
Tell me about yourself… For this example, use the PPFP model.
Past – talk about your career and qualifications to this point
Present – share what you are doing at present
Future – talk about how the position you are seeking aligned with you future career
Personal – finally if you feel comfortable, briefly share information such as your hobbies and personal background.
 
All the best with your next interview!
