A great way to start your job hunt is by looking at Tesco job vacancies. The website contains lots of vacancy and company information to get you on your way to that all important interview and job.

Feeling nervous before an interview is only natural but there are ways to reduce those nerves by preparing for what lies ahead.With any interview it is important to show a genuine interest in the position you have applied for and your chances of being recruited will greatly increase if you show a keen interest in the job and company you hope to work for.

Whilst you do not need to spend a great deal of time knowing all the ins and outs of a company, it is important to have a good basic knowledge of what it does, it’s specific marketplace and it’s history. It is unlikely you will be asked many questions about the company’s history but you will get a feel for the philosophy of the organisation over the years and can tailor your answers to match with that philosophy.

By showing you know a little about the products and services offered by the organisation, you are also showing that you have done some research prior to the interview, this in turn shows you have dedicated some of your own time into really trying to work for the organisation. 

You can come up with your own list to ask the interviewer about the position you are applying for, and this is usually regarded as a positive trait. Being interested will score you additional points towards getting hired for the job!You may find that all of your questions have been answered during the interview process, don’t worry and don’t feel that you still need to ask the questions and get the interviewers to repeat themselves. Just let them know that you had some questions but they have all been answered whilst you have been talking.

Finally, think about the questions the interviewer may ask you. They will want to know what experience you have and how you would handle certain situations. They may ask you to refer to previous situations you have been in and want you to draw on information from real life scenarios. It is good to have an idea of what scenarios you can refer to before the interview despite not knowing exactly what information the interviewer may wish to gather from your answer. Example scenarios would be positions of responsibility, meeting deadlines, managing a project, etc. Answering in a confident, knowledgeable will give the interviewer confidence in you. Try not to be evasive or miss out key areas of information as this will hinder the interviewer when deciding if you are right for the job.
