Employers hire for what you can do on site. Expect practical questions and sometimes a hands-on test.

Before the interview

  • Bring original certificates and experience letters
  • Revise safety rules for your trade
  • Be ready to describe projects you have worked on
Employers test trades on real site tasks, so practise the work you will be asked to do.

Work safely and follow the procedure you were given. Employers notice how you handle tools and safety as much as the finished work.
