TommyHi Freddy, How did you get on at the interview?
FreddyOh, great. But I decided I wasn't interested in the job.
TommyReally? Why ever not? I thought it was the kind of job you always wanted.
FreddyYes, well, it was OK in some ways, the salary and pension scheme were good but I would have had to start work at eight. Then they wanted me to travel so I would have been away from home a lot. As there was only an hour for lunch I wouldn't have been able to eat at home. They would have expected me to put in extra hours too, but it wouldn't have been considered overtime. And they expected me to relocate.
TommyWhat did they say when you refused the job offer?
FreddyOh, nothing. They didn't actually offer me the job. I wouldn't have taken it even if they had offered it to me.

PeterYes. I'm off to Egypt next week. To the Mediterranean coast.
FrankEgypt? For a holiday? Lucky so-and-so!
PeterNo, I'm going to be working there for about six months. A big liquid gas project.
FrankWhat? With the same company you were with the last time I saw you? I thought you were fed up with them.
PeterI was. I was just a trainee there, my salary wasn't very good, and I would have left anyway. But I saw an ad looking for an engineer, applied for the job, and got it!
FrankThat sounds easy. Didn't you have to go for an interview and all that?
PeterOf course I did. Three in fact. It's a big multinational and the selection was pretty tough. There were over fifty applicants.
FrankGreat! How much will you be earning?
PeterWell, after tax and social security, and with the perks for living abroad, my net salary will be double what it was. And I get a chauffeur-driven car too.
FrankGood Lord! Do they need anybody else?

A good curriculum vitae is your first step to a job interview, but remember - a CV is not a job application. The aim of a CV is to present you in the best possible light. Your CV is probably the first impression a possible employer has of you, so it must be effective.

Here are some things to remember when you write your CV:

  • Use good quality white paper. Never print on both sides.
  • Use positive language when you speak about past work experience and skills.
  • Find out as much as possible about the job and company and make sure your skills, interests and experience match the job profile.
  • Put your education and career in reverse order, placing the most recent first.
  • Give an explanation for any gaps in your career.
  • Describe your responsibilities and tasks in previous jobs. Be careful not to lie or exaggerate. You may get caught out in the interview.
  • Give names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of at least two referees. Don't forget to tell them you are using them for a reference.
  • Send a cover letter, less than one page long and don't simply repeat your CV.

If you have a disability, you must, like anybody else, prepare properly before an interview. Find out everything you can about the company. Re-read your application and try to anticipate the questions they will ask. Prepare some questions to ask them. Be positive about yourself and your abilities. You will need to convince the interviewer that you have the qualifications and motivation to do the job well, and that you will fit in with the company's organisational structure and the rest of the staff. Present yourself as a person with skills who happens to have a disability. Make your interviewer feel at ease about your disability. Remember, you want them to see that your disability can be accommodated. Explain how you can accomplish all the tasks related to the job, and explain, if necessary,. which cost-effective assistive technology you may need. You should dress smartly and leave home in plenty of time on the day of the interview. Be courteous to all the company employees. During the interview always look attentive. Never lie to anyone in an interview. Your body language, tone of voice or the words you use will probably give you away.
