“Be prepared” – that's a maxim job-seekers generally hear. But how does one go about it? What should we prepare for before attending that all-important interview? How do we project a confident image, yet not appear a braggart? And what are some fatal mistakes that we should definitely not commit in an interview? We view a mock-up of an interview gone wrong, and hear the critique of this interview from an expert, Ms Annie Yap, CEO of GMP Recruitment Services, Singapore , who offers us some sound, practical advice.

Professor Michael Netzley, Practice Assistant Professor of Corporate Communications from Singapore Management University (SMU), speaks to us.
