My gf has interview on 15th for housing officer at a council. Any tips or advice on what to research etc.
Housing officer interview
- Thread starter borich_planner
- Start date
She could try researching Renaissance literature, it will give her something to talk about at the interview. 
Or failing that how about housing benefit regulations, tenants rights and responsibilities, the local authorities procedures for allocating social housing etc.

I think he means a job interview for a Housing Officer, not an interview with one.
I work for a Council.
She needs to look at the job specification and then flesh out personal specific examples of experience relating to each point on the specification. A vague understanding of the actual job is a plus but not essential.
If I was you, I would be looking at drawing up a list of potential quesstions for her to answer. Same as any job really.
