Shitting it tbh. Totally unprepared and it's part of a recruitment evening, so I'm not the only candidate.

Job is for my local BMW dealer, there's actually two positions I'm good for, so hopefully I'll get one of the two.

This would mean I'm not doing 110 miles a day, I'd be doing 30, so it's quite a big deal lol.

Any tips? Been a while since I've had an interview!

I had an interview on Tuesday.

Just have it in your head the things you want to say that would be relevant in showing why you are suitable. Try and think of answers to potential questions you may be asked too.

A written copy of your CV is always a must! I would also question what they could offer you in the future in terms of opportunity if you were to be a successful candidate as this shows you will be willing to improve yourself given the opportunity. Read up on the history of the company too, always helps to know a little bit Best of luck mate

I always make it up on the spot instead of worrying trying to think what they might ask.

Served me well mostly, although didn't get me through one I'd of rather liked to get.

Don't answer a yes/no question by saying "yes" or "no" elaborate I bit.
eg "do you live locally?"..."yes" FAIL
"do you live locally?" "yes just doon thee glen eh"...."you've got the job ken"

When your asked for an example of something, don't just say "I did X". Explain why you did it and the benefits that had to the business
