1. Describe your strengths
It is almost guaranteed that on most West Sussex job interviews you will be asked what you think your areas of strength are (and sometimes what you think your weaknesses / 'development areas' are too). Naturally your desire is to leave a positive impression with the interviewer(s) so you will need to show that you are well on your way to conquering your weaknesses. One thing is for sure, you need to have thought about this common interview question in advance so you know roughly what you will answer when asked it.
2. What is it that attracts you to this job?
Think carefully about this question. Stress the encouraging aspects that have encouraged you to apply for this job.
What qualities do you think will be needed for this job?
Their advertisement for the job may help you a little bit, but you should also think of the additional skills that may be required. These may include communication skills,supervisory skills,interpersonal skills ,logical skills ,supervisory skills etc.
3. What do you believe you bring to this position?
This is your chance to shine. Tell them about your triumphs in your previous work that are relevant to the new position you are applying for.
4. Why do you want to join our organisation?
Emphasise the positive reasons why you want to join their organisation, but avoid aspects such as more money or shorter hours. These may not impress your prospective new boss. Stress fresh challenges that appeal to you / other more positive reasons for wanting to change jobs.
