is it a capability based inter_iew and what are the capabilities that are mentioned in the job spec.

work through a specific example against each of the ones mentioned and make them impactful.

situation

task

action

results

or

situation

objective

action

result

aftermath

are 2 of the usual inter_iew framework.

Your strength

Your development ares and does you personal development plan action speak to the development areas....

Know the company strategic objectives and how you contribute to them in your current role and the new one.

If managing a team, if you underperform as a team, you carry the accountability for that however, , if you achieve as a team, it's your team's success.

good luck

Research the company and competitors. Know your role requirements. Understand why the company would need you and what you can uniquely bring to them. Don't be arrogant but do ask questions that are more probing. Don't discuss money during the first inter_iew, you should already have an idea of compensation - negotiations are for later.

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

Research your route so you're not late. Make sure you are neat and clean. Make eye contact, smile often, and hide your hands if they shake.

Although I didn't get my promotion so not sure you should take any notice of me

When they ask "where do you see yourself in 5 years", point to the guy who'd be your boss and say "I'd have his job".

Worked for me in the past.

take a portfolio of evidence of your achievements and leave it with them for their consideration.

Know the company.

Know how the role you're applying for fits in.

Answer positively and show you're proactive can work alone as well as part of a team.

Think before answering, don't be afraid to pause, ask for question to be repeated.

If a panel: look at and engage all members.

Arrive on time.

Dress to impress.

Best of luck!

Brighton - even Hove!

When they say 'what are your weaknesses?' choose something and make it into a positive.

What is important to your company at this point any new ventures or markets or products?

Show enthusiasm and try to understand what issues are important for company development

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else

If you're internal, as appears to be the case, talk to people in equivalent roles....and if any, people who work under the role you're going for. Find out what the challenges are, and what they think the solutions are.

They may not be the right solutions, but they'll give you a start.

If inter_iewed by someone you know, pretend you don't know them and work to impress.
