How to prepare for an interview for a work placement?
A work experience interview is prepared in the same way as a recruitment interview.
Learn to sell yourself
Learn to promote your skills - your personality - your professional - personal experience (internships - missions - summer jobs - etc.).
Furthermore you must show the recruiter how your profile can be of use to the company by putting: your skills - your career plan - the reasons why you applied to the company into perspective.
Finding out about the company
Before coming for your interview find out about the company: its activity - key figures - its influence - its competition - its values - its current situation.
Make a good impression
Your presentation is essential if you want to make a good impression: appropriate clothing - a dynamic posture and impeccable language.
Bring one or more copies of your CV - a pen - a notebook and possibly your achievements.
