9. •
Do not place blame
If you are describing a particular
problem or difficult situation, it may
feel natural to attack or place blame
on another person. However, these
questions are about you, not about
anyone else. Focus on what you did to
manage the situation, and how you
could have improved the situation; do
not dwell on other peoples’ issues or
failures.
• Be confident
Do have plenty of eye contact
with the interviewer, be self
confident and well prepared and
don’t get flustered or panic.
