Is There Anything I Haven’t Told You About The Job

Is there anything I haven’t told you? Remember, an interview is just that, an exchange of views. It’s not an interrogation. And what good is it if you give all the right answers, get the job, and find out it’s not right for you?! Plus it looks great to employers if you look keen and can demonstrate that keenness and enthusiasm by asking more questions, and even offering up more about yourself. Before you go to the interview prepare a list of questions. You will have your own of course, to suit yourself, but some of the typical things you may need to know would be:
