1)Tell me about yourself?
2) Why do you want to work here? ( best to do some research on the places you apply for job)
3) Why should I hire you over all the other people I have interviewed today??
4)What are your biggest accomplishments?
5) Can you work under pressure?

9)What does team work mean to you?

Good question, and excellent response, KIMBA.

As a training provider in this industry, you would also want to cover a few aspects of the training and background that you have to qualify you for the job.

Training is not all the same, and there are some providers that offer 6 week crash courses with minimal exposure to the industry and no real context to the job.

There are also TAFE courses that struggle to maintain relevance to the industry because the teachers have been out of the job for some time.

We are a not-for-profit that has training, agency and even a product division in the same organisation. The focus of the business is on the industry and the trainers are also current with best practice and front line experience as well as familiar with the regulations and the industry.

Make reference therefore to your training, as the reputation of the organisation will also reflect the calibre of your skills and abilities.

Your training will also require you to have a practical component and you can draw on experiences where you have made a difference to someone's life in that context.
