How buying works, step by stepCompare all 8 options below

Drawing: a man practises at night with his phone; his interview is tomorrow at 10:00. Interview tomorrow? Practise your answers tonight, on your phone.
Interview soon? Read these 3 parts of the guide first: 1. The STAR way to answer: Situation, Task, Action, Result. 2. The 5 Almost certain questions. 3. Prepare 3 true examples from work, school or your studies.

How to get ready the night before your interview.

4 steps, in this order. You do not learn answers by heart. You prepare true examples and tell them in your own words.

  1. Choose 6 to 8 true examples

    Take them from your CV. Choose examples that show different skills. New to work? Use real things from school or your studies.

  2. Tell each example in 4 short parts

    Use STAR (a way to answer in 4 short parts: the Situation, your Task, the Action you took, and the Result). Aim for about 90 seconds. Say “I”, not “we”.

  3. Prepare the 5 questions you will almost surely be asked

    1. Tell me about yourself.
    2. Why do you want to work here?
    3. Why are you leaving your current job? Or: why is there a gap in your CV?
    4. What are your strengths and weaknesses?
    5. What are your salary expectations?

  4. Plan the small things

    Plan your route, and your taxi or petrol money. For a video interview, test the link an hour before. Have enough data. Set out your clothes. Prepare 2 or 3 questions to ask them.

Look here: the third step shows the 5 questions exactly as the PDF lists them. The PDF also explains a first phone call, tests like a typing test, and checks on your record and qualifications. It has 6 more questions that ask for a real example, like “Tell me about a time when”. It is 6 pages. It does not give you answers to learn by heart.

When they invite youAsk if there will be a test, like a typing test. Plan your taxi or petrol money.
The night beforeDo not learn answers by heart. Prepare true examples of things you did at work, at school or in your studies. Then prepare the 5 questions you will almost surely be asked.

Other questions

My interview is in 2 hours. What do I read first?

Read the part called The STAR method. It shows how to answer in 4 short parts: the Situation, your Task, the Action you took, and the Result. Then read the 5 questions marked Almost certain. Prepare 3 true examples.

I have never worked. What examples can I use?

Take your examples from your CV. New to work? Use real things from school or your studies.

Is it for government jobs?

Yes. It explains panel interviews, which are common in government and banks. It also explains the checks after the interview, like checks on your criminal record and your qualifications.

What do I say about salary?

The guide shows how to find a fair salary range. Look at adverts for similar jobs, and at salary information on PNet and Careers24. Then give a range (a lowest and a highest amount), not one number.

My interview is by phone or video. Does it help?

Yes. It has a short checklist. Open the video call link they sent you an hour before, to test it. Charge your phone, and have enough data. Is load shedding planned at that time? Say so when you reply to the invitation, and ask to move the time.

The PDF talks about files 09, 10 and 15. Do I get them?

No. You can use this guide without them. File 09 is in Better words for your CV. File 10 is a tracker (a table where you write down every job you apply for). It is in Track and follow up. File 15 has the thank-you message. It is in Messages for after you apply. All 3 are in the complete system.
