Use your CV to showcase your achievements. Companies are results-orientated, so it's important that you emphasise how you made a difference in your previous roles and the value you added. And remember, honesty is the best policy. Make sure all the information is accurate, up-to-date, and there are no exaggerations.
Interview preparation: Are you prepared?

Research the company thoroughly, including exploring its website, social media channels, and any company literature. Find out where the company is located, determine the best route to get there, and how long it takes, and dress smartly. Prepare answers for the main questions. For example-tell me about yourself, what is your motivation for this role, what are your strengths and weaknesses.
