2SFG Parents and Carers Guide to Apprenticeships

Finding an apprenticeship for your child

Interviews If the application is successful, the applicant will be invited to interview with the employer. Interviews for apprenticeships are often similar to any other job interview but the process often differs between employers. For example, small employers might conduct one interview, whereas a large employer could request up to three.

An interview could therefore consist of: • a face to face interview • a phone interview • a video interview

It is advised that the applicant does some key preparation before attending the interview. This could include: • researching the apprenticeship and the organisation • practicing by doing a mock interview • checking where and when the interview is • getting to the interview early •

dressing appropriately and staying focussed • asking questions if they don’t understand
