Interviews

At all of these, the interviewer will ask you a series of questions.

You will also be asked if you have any questions.

You may be asked to complete an aptitude test.

Employers use these to find out more about your abilities and to see if you have the job skills they require.

You will be asked to complete a task that involves problem-solving skills, prioritisation skills or numerical skills. You may be asked to complete these on-line or at the interview.

They are mostly used for apprenticeships, graduate jobs, construction, engineering and mechanics jobs.

If you know that you will be taking an aptitude test, practice these before the interview. Visit this website for more information and sample aptitude tests.

You may be asked to take a psychometric test.

These are designed to help employers find out more about you – things like your intelligence, abilities, potential and personality. This helps them to judge how well you will perform in the job. Find out more information and sample tests here
