Rehearse aloud until it is smooth but not memorised. Panels can hear a recited script.

Behavioural questions

Use situation, task, action, result. Prepare four stories that can be adapted to conflict, failure, leadership and pressure. Each needs a concrete outcome, ideally quantified.

For weaknesses, name a real one plus the specific step you took to address it. Disguised strengths are transparent.

Salary and questions for them

Research a range before you walk in, give a range rather than a single number, and anchor to market data instead of your previous salary. If pressed early, ask about the budgeted band for the role.

Always ask two questions at the end: one about the team's priorities for the next six months, one about how success in the role is measured.

Key takeaways

• Tell me about yourself
• Behavioural questions
• Salary and questions for them
