Do you have any interview tips?

I was asked about my relevant experience with the work I'd be involved with, and using various projects and areas of study at university, I was able to provide relevant answers. They also asked for a brief presentation to introduce myself and what I understood about the company. There was also some tasks I was asked to participate in with the other candidates. Being confident and making your voice heard are important so be sure not to be too reserved or shy. However the number one priority is teamwork and showcasing how you can contribute in a co-operative setting
