PREPS: Your guide to prepping for an interview and what your potential employer will be looking for:

P – Past Practices
Where have you worked before? The companies on your CV matter too. Your experience within different practices can tell an employer a lot about the environments and standards you’ve been exposed to.

R – Reputation
How did you leave your previous roles? Were you on good terms with your employer and colleagues? Your attitude, reliability and how people remember working with you can all make a difference.

E – Experience
Have you worked on the right project typologies and through the right project phases? Employers want to see experience that lines up with what they actually do.

P – Personality
Skills and experience are important, but so is how you work with people. Communication style, attitude and how you fit into a team can be just as important.

S – Stability
How long have you stayed with previous employers? A pattern of moving every year can raise questions, while longer-term experience can show commitment and progression.

So before your next interview, remember the 5 things under the microscope…your PREPS!
