When you leave the interview, try to reflect on some of the harder questions you were asked - this can help you to prepare for future interviews.

Accepting a job

If you’re offered the job, let the company know in good time whether you want to accept the offer. You can also agree on when you’ll start and find out what you’ll need to do on your first day.

Turning down a job

If you decide not to accept the job, turn it down but be polite. You may want to work for them in the future.

If you’re not successful

If the employer does not offer you the job:

• try to be positive - this is a chance to learn from your experience and build your resilience
• ask for feedback on your interview
• think about the things that did not go so well and what you could do to improve next time
• get some interview practice. Ask friends, family, colleagues, or a careers adviser to help
