Preparing for an Interview - Who Am I? Every job seeker needs to ask him why he should be hired before he steps out looking for jobs. This is part of knowing who you are.

So my latest Jobs Tips are about the importance of tailoring your CV and having confidence in an interview.Tailoring a CV to the job you are going for is vital to make sure you have assessed the role correctly and given your potential employers the chance to see how you fit exactly into what they are looking for.Lots of people make the mistake of placing irrelevant facts on their CV from jobs they have had in the past. If you are going for a job as a fishmonger and have a lot of experience in that area you wouldnt focus on the fact that ten years ago you used to work in a bakery part time during college.Every job you have had will have given you transferable skills and these are the points that you need to pull out of your past that documents that the job you are going for really suits your skill set.

Interview Questions You Need to NAIL - What Is Your Greatest Weakness There are two traps in answering this question. The first is to say I do not have any weaknesses, or I cannot think of any. The reality is we all have weaknesses and chances are if you do not identify any, the interview may very likely be cut short. The second is not being prepared to answer this question. Make sure you are prepared to identify up to two weaknesses.There are two keys to nailing this question. The first is to identify a weakness that will not compromise your competency in the role you are seeking and the second is to identify what you are doing to correct the weakness.As an example, you are currently an Accountant with the ambition to become a Controller at some point in your career. You are applying for an accounting role in a large organization and you know there is room to advance your career in this organization. The weakness you have identified to get from one role to the next is speaking in public and experience and exposure to leadership opportunities.
