Do you have any interview tips?

Telephone Interview - have a few bullet points of situational examples you can use to demonstrate your skills. Make sure to link in experience from hobbies, volunteering, uni & work experience. For the face-to-face interview....practice! The career support centre at uni was great. I had two practice interviews with them and they prepared me with different questions that could come up.
Also try and be calm, everyone is nervous on the day and the interviewers are very understanding of this. If you mess up a question, take a breath and you can even ask if you can start your answer again.
