Hey guys, I've got an interview this Friday, and having not had an interview for around 7 years (walked into my last job), i'm trying to cover the basics.

How long does a typical interview last?

How early is too early to get there?

How many questions should i have prepared to ask them?

Should i bring a copy of my CV? (They've already seen it, so i shouldn't need to bring one right?)

What's the worse thing i could say to potential employers?

Do i need to act a little more lively?

The all important strength//weakness question.

If i think of any more, i'll post them.

Cheers
 
Thanks guys.

30mins to an hour?
I was thinking more 15-30 mins

That's a lot of talking and bigging up yourself.

I won't forget the nice firm handshake.


If i'm asked a question, am i expected to answer it immediately?
Would they frown if i took say, 5-10 secs to say something, if i wasn't sure and the question took me off guard.
 
What would you consider a strong question?

I'm thinking about along the lines of what is expected of me in the first three months, how do you see my role developing in the company etc.

I understand the point of the interview, what i was getting at is that when they ask a question, i would have thought that you would try to make yourself look as good as possible when answering that question.
Thus the bigging up yourself.
 
Yeah, doing my research now.

I know who will be interviewing me, so doing some background information on them.

I just wanted to cover the basic, as it's been so long since i last interviewed.

Really appreciate the help.

Going to start to practice interview questions and try to be calm.

Cheers
