Practice interviews These are designed to give you practice at being interviewed before you are invited by an employer to attend a job interview. They will be conducted by experienced interviewers, normally Careers Advisers. The interviewers will give constructive criticism of interview performance and advice on how to improve. The interviews can be video-taped, should you wish. They can be arranged as and when required at a mutually convenient time to student and interviewer.
Many employers now use psychometric tests as part of their selection procedure.
The most common tests have papers in diagrammatic reasoning and numeracy. These sessions, lasting two hours, offer the chance to get test practice under test conditions, obtain feedback on your scores and to develop your test technique. In addition to ability tests some employers use pencil and paper questionnaires to gather information about personality. This session will give you an insight into the kind of information about you that they hope to obtain and will be useful as preparation for the selection process. The personality measure we will be using is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.
