Research the company and role, review the job description, prepare short stories about your achievements, practise answers to common questions out loud and plan a few thoughtful questions for the interviewer.

What is the STAR method?

STAR stands for Situation, Task, Action and Result. It is a way to structure answers to behavioural questions so you explain the context, what you did and the outcome clearly and briefly.

How do I answer "Tell me about yourself" in an interview?

Give a short summary that links your current role, a few relevant achievements and why this position is the right next step for you. Keep it focused on the job and aim for one to two minutes.

What questions should I ask at the end of an interview?

Ask about what success looks like in the first months, how the team works, the biggest challenges in the role and the next steps in the hiring process.

How long should an interview answer be?

Most answers work best at one to two minutes. Lead with the main point, add one specific example and stop when you have answered the question.
