Before The Interview
Before your interview: get a job specification and find out everything you can about the company together with directions to the interview and a contact name. At the very least you should be able to get some details of the project to be worked on, the technical environment and your proposed role.
When we brief you prior to the interview we will pass on information about what the company or the interviewer may respond well to. In some circumstances we may attend the interview as well where the client has requested us to do so.
Re-read your application and CV, thinking through your own career and the questions they might ask you. Ensure that you can give them more information than is on your CV. It is important to highlight the elements of your roles that sell you as an individual. You should try to anticipate the general questions which they will ask and also prepare some questions to ask them.
Of course the employer will want to be sure you are the right person for the job. You may find that the interview focuses much more on technical / ability issues than you are used to - so be prepared.
Technical tests, too, are becoming very common so do not be surprised if one is sprung on you! Ask your agency whether this is likely to happen.
Make sure you get value from the interview too. Clarify exactly what the role is and what will be expected of you. See if you can get a feeling for the culture of the company. The most successful assignments are where technical abilities meet the specification and personalities and cultures match.
