Employers are looking for several fundamentals;
- That you have the right skills
Employers want to know that you have the right skills and personal
qualities to do the job successfully. They know what type of person
they want to recruit and they don't keep this a secret. Their recruitment
web site, application form or person specification tells you what
they are looking for. For example, did the application form ask
you to describe a time when you worked with others in a team or
group? Or did the person specification list 'the ability to work
effectively with others' as a required skill or 'competency'? If
so, this indicates that they are looking for good team working skills
and they are likely to ask you more about this in an interview.
Sometimes first interviews feel like they are a repetition of your application form but this gives you an opportunity to bring in other examples and to bring your answer to life.

- That you really want to work for them
