Presentation - Interview Tips

Attending an interview is usually a very formal process with set guidelines. The traditional dress for an interview is smart, no jeans or trainers. These days this has changed slightly with some interviewers preferring to conduct interviews in pubs or restaurants on a more comfortable scale for the interviewee.
