			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are currently in an incredibly competitive job market. It is said that there are around 70 applications for every job advertised. This means that if you get an interview you need to make it count, as getting to the interview stage itself isn’t easy.</p>
<p>I don’t know of anyone that enjoys being interviewed. It is a hard and stressful process, but there are things you can do to help you prepare.</p>
<p>Courses on interview techniques can be very helpful, and it may be that your current employer offers these. However, you may not want to show them that you’re thinking of leaving, so it can be hard to know where to turn for help.</p>
<p>Thankfully, jobs.ac.uk is running a free 30 minute webinar to help you ace that interview. The expert presenter is Sean Russell, an ex-Director of Careers Services from University of Warwick and University of Birmingham with over 10 years experience of interviewing people.</p>
<p>The webinar also contains an interactive Q&amp;A sessions where you can ask your own questions directly to the expert!</p>
<p>So for all the tips and tricks register for free:</p>

<p>For anyone who has an interview, is job hunting or is just wanting to brush up on their skills this is an invaluable opportunity to help your interview technique. I hope to see you there!</p>
