c. Job recruitment websites have some of the highest traffic and are very user friendly which means that finding a job and securing interviews will be a lot easier than with any other method
d. Job recruitment websites also cater for people who aren’t actively looking for jobs i.e unemployed or students and therefore allow you to find out about companies you may be interested in anyway (or companies looking for people to fill temporary positions)
e. You can see exactly what skills are required for the job and whether or not you have the required amount of experience
f. You can use the job recruitment websites to find employers registered on the site in order to make personal recommendations to them
g. Job recruitment websites allow you to have a profile, CV and cover letter etc… so they can be accessed by employers who don’t necessarily advertise positions on the site
h. You are given a chance to apply directly for the position without going through an agency or having any other third party being involved

You may also be asked questions regarding particular skills or experiences e.g. how do you feel your previous work experience in customer service training has contributed to your knowledge of managing a team of people?
