I applied for a job the other day, 1st time on about 12 years, certainly in 11 since I went self employed, had to attempt to do a c.v. but just ended up using the one from back then with my self employment added, might be wrong formay with being word 2003 but hey-ho.
Broth-in-law works there & fella I know is Accounts Manager so gonna get him to find out a bit more about it for me as well, could do with the steady income tbh in fact could really do with it.
Job is 'QC Test Inspector' for a company that makes stuff for the rigs, some on site some off and maybe some abroad, which could be almost anywhere worldwide.
Got all of the Quals & exp that they've asked for so I suppose it might come down to if someone that has been doing that job somewhere else applies.
Got a decent record as far as job apps go tbh when I've really wanted the job I've almost always got it, but we'll see.

Just be yourself mate, you'll walk it.
Don't ask about their policy on surfing the web while working though.

Well done mate, I'm about to embark on the application/interview trail myself after finishing a post grad.

My approach has always been to try to think of it as a two way street, you're interviewing them as well. Thinking whether you want to work there, what's the benefit to you personally and professionally, whether you want to spend 5 days a week with in this gaff with these folks and having questions that can get them talking is a good way to overcome nerves and pressure on yourself I've found.
 

my advice would be to think of 4 or 5 things you are good at, your 'strengths' if u will. Example, you are a good communicator, a good team player, you are reliable etc. Now memorise these, get used to saying them out loud so they can be said without hesitation. Then think of a situation/story that shows why you are each one of these things.
Not only will this answer any 'what are your strengths' questions, they also fit nicely into a lot of other answers
