World of Work - Interview Guide 🛠️

Your first real job interview doesn't have to be terrifying.

Entry-level and first job interviews are more straightforward than assessment centres or university interviews — but most students still walk in underprepared because no one taught them what to actually say.

This guide covers the most common questions, the answers that impress and the answers that kill your chances — written specifically for 17-18 year olds who don't have years of experience to draw on.

What's inside:

• The 7 questions asked in almost every job interview — with strong and weak answer examples for each
• How to talk about yourself, your strengths and your weaknesses without sounding either arrogant or self-deprecating
• How to handle questions about experience you don't have yet
• What to wear, what to bring and when to arrive
• Questions to ask that make you memorable
• The thank you email template that fewer than 5% of candidates send — and the reason it matters

Perfect for: Students applying for their first job, retail, hospitality, civil service or any entry-level role
