It’s a question we’ve all been asked in a job interview, so what is the perfect response? Many of us, struggle to answer this well and you often find the further you progress in your career, the more unobtainable an answer becomes. Within my last blog, I talked about the importance of preparation through training and the obvious similes with that of an athlete – again, therein lies the answer.

When writing about the dreaded job interview the old cliché of “fail to prepare, prepare to fail” should always be the key message to get across. People often go in unprepared and don’t understand how or why they’ve missed out on obtaining an offer. Preparation is key. Much like an athlete, most of the work is done before the main event. I’ve always been a fan of the hurdles and to say there are obstacles to overcome here would be literal but true.
