What should I do at the interview?
You should:
Introduce yourself and look at the person that you are talking to
Try to sit still and don't move around too much
Make sure you listen carefully to the questions asked. If you don’t understand a question, ask the interviewer to explain what they mean
Answer questions clearly and take your time
The employer might ask you at the end of the interview if you would like to ask them any questions. It is good to ask questions because it shows the employer you are keen to know more about the job.
You could ask:

- What day would the new job start if you were offered it
- When they will let you know if you have been offered the job or not
Ask for feedback
If you don’t get the job it would be a good idea to ring the company and ask them why. This is called asking for feedback. It will help you know how to improve for your next interview.
