Attending a job interview can be very daunting. Today, I am going to share with you some of my personal top tips for attending any job interview.

Research
Before any job interview I would highly recommend you conducting some research. Have a look into the company you are having an interview for. Knowing facts about their company can impress them. You can also find out about their interview process through researching. Allowing you to feel prepared.

Preparation
Consider preparing for your interview the night before. Decide what you are wearing and how you are having your hair. This will help you to feel less stressed the morning of your interview.

Presenting Yourself
Consider how you want to present yourself. You will need to decide if you want to present yourself as being timid or confident. If confidence if the way then practice how you will be speaking. Consider how you will be sitting with your posture too.

This is a massive debate amongst everyone, is university always necessary? In my opinion, no, going to university is not always necessary. There are many different ways which you can evolve into professionally work without having a university degree or the debt. Some of these include apprenticeships or gaining work experience. Some companies will hire trainees for certain roles allowing you to grow with a company and work your way up to the role you desire. However, some jobs do require a university degree. For example, if you were to want to work for the NHS. It is important you gain a medical degree in the sector you wish to work. Most university students will be offered jobs from their work placements when studying medical degrees which is a bonus. But to conclude, my answer is no. Do not street about going to university. There are other ways to build yourself in this world.
