General interview advice
All the traditional advice about attending an interview, of which you will be well aware, remains valid. When you applied you should have tailored your CV to demonstrate how your skills and experience match up to the needs of the organisation, but when you hear that you have got an interview it is time to shift your focus.
Key Considerations
- Research the board culture and current challenges.
- Understand the specific governance requirements of the sector.
- Be prepared to discuss your track record in oversight and strategy.
- Align your value proposition with the organisation's long-term goals.
Preparation is the difference between a good candidate and the successful candidate. Ensure you have reviewed the annual report and understand the financial health of the organisation before you step into the room.
