1 Introduction

So THE letter has come through the door, you've been offered an interview and you've swung from the ceiling with joy. Now you're faced with the terrifying thought that you actually have to spend an hour in a room with a complete stranger and persuade them that you are right for the job. Aaaagghh!!!!

But wait, it's not that bad. Just remember a few basic principles and you can handle your first interview like an experienced pro.

The thing to remember is that an interview is a chance for the company to see if you are right for them and their job - AND for you to see if the company and their job are right for you.
