Your resume has been successful in gaining an interview, therefore you have demonstrated your skills, knowledge and experience are of value to the organisation.

The interview provides you and the employer an opportunity to determine how well you will fit in with the culture, direction, and requirements of the organisation.

For you it is:

• an opportunity to convince the employer of your potential
• an opportunity to find out more about the job and the company; "Is it right for me?", "Do I want to work with these people?", "Do the conditions/prospects fit in with my career goals?"
• an opportunity to expand on the information in your application form or resume

For the employer it is:

• a means to assess your abilities in relation to the requirements of the position, "Have you got what they want?"
• an opportunity to discuss your training, experience, knowledge and abilities in more detail
• an opportunity to see what drives and motivates you and to determine whether you will be able to fit in with both the team and the company as a whole.
