You tell me. I'm doing something wrong here - I've applied for about 10 - 20 jobs and only had the one interview, and didn't get that job. I'm not @rsed about that, but I thought the interview went pretty well. Shows what I know.
The problem is all the jobs I've had in the past, and the one I've got now, I've known that I'd got the job before I even sat down to be interviewed. Not because I'm cocky, but because they are jobs that a monkey could do. If you could spell your own name, you were hired.
I've had a few tips from friends, and from the net :
* Write your CV tailored to the job you want.
* Detail what strengths you have brought to previous jobs and how that would help you in your new job.
* Try to convey ambition.
* Be to the point. (My CV is only 2 pages anyway)
Any tips, as I've been out of full time work for over a month, and working evenings/weekends at somerfield is becoming seriously painful. Is a covering letter essential? What do I put in it, apart from being interested in the job? Any tips on interviews, except being confident, looking interviewers in the eye (which I always do), not licking the window etc.
Cheers for any help if you can give it.
