The interview process can be a  daunting one -  but it doesn’t always have to be.

How prepared you are is a key deciding factor on your interview experience. While it's hard to have a standard prep process as every business's priorities will differ, you do typically tend to come across recurring topics in the interview process.

With this in mind,  we’ve put together a crib sheet of questions for any candidate looking to nail their interview - you’re welcome!

These are typical questions the interviewers ask to help you understand the candidate in front of them in order to better understand:

‍

✅Whether they will fit their team

✅Whether they align with their company’s values and vision

✅If they have the skillset we need to add value

✅If they’re truly interested in joining us?
