Hi Terry, like you say things seem to be looking up. I had two stages to my interview, and was successful and now starting with my new employer this month.

Wishing you the same success.

Nice one Terry.

Now the game is afoot you need to formulate the best powerpoint presentation there is, make thje presentation is most enjoyable not boring. It may be prudent to research the company and make the presentation specific to their industy. Also make sure you know the presentation content inside out. Don't forget at the end to ask the interviewers if there are any questions, and above all make sure you can answer the questions too.

You could always produce some nicely bound handouts covering the presentation, stick a company logo onto it etc. It's the quality and content that counts.

Good luck

New 1 on me too... Pray let us know what a Zip Audit consists of sometime?

I think asking to conduct a presentation is a regular task at interview stages.

Strangely enough I have recently been invited to an interview that also consists of a written test... Not stated if it was physcometric but I don't believe it is at 1st interview stage!

ZIP is it Zero Incident Process? I've been involved in Zero Harm and came across this one while looking on the internet.

Good luck with the second interview.

I have just been informed that I have a second interview on Friday. The interview process takes 4 hours and consists of an interview and a technical assessment. Has anyone come across this before? I am not too sure what to expect for the technical assessment.

Any adivce will be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Terry,
At my last interview (for job I'm now in) I downloaded their logos from their website and put them into my powerpoint - they were so impressed - I did say that I was using them for this only.
HSE 123 phone and ask and while asking saying that you want to show your professionalism, make the best impression and make then i nterview relevant to what they are wanting OR you can make a guess on the technical assessment as it's bound to be about what they actually do.

Every little advantage helps and showing an interest in them helps a lot.

Hi Terry

Like you and may others I have had to go thorough multiple interviews for jobs in the past including my current role: a first interview with the recruiting agency to explore my background and suitability, a second interview with HR and the operations director then a 'test day ' where I had to carry out an mini audit and present the results ( without any PowerPoint) I also faced a 'technical interview' from the existing person in the role who was being made redundant and who grilled me on a variety of H&S topics, in the presence of another director.

I got the job by being myself, being honest and demonstrating my competence, and not losing my cool when someone less qualified than me asked me pretty basic questions on H&S, and was pretty patronising.

Good luck!!
