You can work through different\u00a0chapters\u00a0to build on your interview or case study skills. The course is self-paced so you can choose how you want to use it. You could go through everything all in one go or take it slow<\/p>\n<h2>Put it into practice<\/h2>\n<p>Once you have gone through the courses you might want to try putting your interview techniques to the test. We subscribe to Graduates\u00a0First that allows you to do just that!\u00a0Alongside fantastic psychometric tests,\u00a0Graduates\u00a0First also offers a practice interview platform.<\/p>\n<p>On there you can record yourself answering a variety of interview questions, watch yourself back and get some automated feedback on how you are coming across. It may feel a bit uncomfortable but is a great way of getting used to answering interview questions. Recorded video interviews are becoming very\u00a0common\u00a0so this is a great way to practice this format. But even if you have an upcoming interview with a live interviewer \u2013 virtually or in person \u2013 this is a great way to start practicing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/unihub.bath.ac.uk\/s\/myfuture\/infoPages\/detail\/31\/graduates-first-psychometric-t\">Find out more about Graduates\u00a0First<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Our Adviser Team can also support you with interview practice. In Semester 1 we generally don\u2019t offer full practice interviews. However, you can book a Careers Appointment to discuss any interview concerns or have a quick run through\u00a0few\u00a0interview\u00a0questions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bath.ac.uk\/guides\/careers-service-appointments\/\">Find out more about appointments<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Further help<\/h2>\n<p>If you need further help or have any questions we are here to help.
