Know yourself

To excel in an interview:

Know Your CV: Familiarize yourself with your CV thoroughly. Any inconsistencies between your spoken words and your CV can raise concerns.

Elaborate on CV Details: Be ready to explain in-depth about your past work experiences, achievements, projects, and interests as stated in your CV.

Highlight Strengths: Understand your strengths and how they apply to the new role. Support these strengths with real-life examples to illustrate your point effectively.

Provide Evidence: When discussing your strengths, back them up with evidence. For instance, if you mention attention to detail as a strength, share an example of how it positively impacted your work, like catching a critical error in a report.

Acknowledge Weaknesses: Show self-awareness by acknowledging your areas of weakness. This demonstrates that you're realistic and proactive about personal growth.

Clarify Motivations: Clearly state your motivations for applying for the role. Understand what's important to you in terms of the job, company culture, and career development. Remember, an interview is an opportunity for both you and the employer to assess the fit.
