Having acknowledged receipt of the interview letter，you must prepare for the interview. Firms usually take a good deal of trouble over interviews，and there may be three or more people present，which can be a little frightening. Very often the personnel officer will begin by some words of welcome and an invitation to you to tell them a little about yourself. This is really inviting you to repeat the information you have already supplied on the application form，and which they have already read，but it does have some point.

Some people have too high an opinion of themselves，some take an unduly pessimistic view of their achievements，while others have a nicely balanced assessment of their own abilities.
