Interview advice

Going for this role at National Portfolio Leadership? A few things that help freshers walk in prepared:

• Before you go in, list the top three things this job asks for and prepare one concrete example for each — then tie every answer back to them.
• Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early (not an hour), and carry a printed CV, a valid ID and any certificates.
• Practise once out loud with a friend or a mock interview — the more you rehearse, the calmer and clearer you will be on the day.
• Send a short thank-you message within a day that refers to something specific you discussed — most freshers skip this, and it is remembered.
• Spend 30 to 60 minutes beforehand on the company's site, recent news and LinkedIn, so you can name one specific reason you want to join when they ask.
