How do I improve my interview skills?

There are two main types of interviews: Face-to-face and Telephone interviews. It is essential that you feel confident and have a professional manner when speaking to clients, agents, or any other employment decision makers. Remember that if you're from abroad, a UK interview is likely to be very different from home!
