The answers should be relevant to the role and focus on your strengths and experience. Remember, the aim is to take every opportunity to reinforce your suitability for that particular apprenticeship. At the end of an interview you’re almost certainly asked: “Do you have any questions?” and it’s never good to reply with “er, no” since that will give the impression you’re just not curious or engaged. Even the most caught-in-the- headlights moment can be effectively swerved by asking one of the following: l What is a typical day working in your business like? l What qualifi cation will I achieve at the end of the apprenticeship? l How will my time be divided between working and learning? l What have apprentices gone on to do after their apprenticeship?


Checklist before interview l Travel: get there at least 15 minutes before the designated start time


l Appearance: make sure you look appropriately professional l Items: take a copy of your CV and application, a notebook and a pen.
