interview advice

R

I've just found out I have an interview for a research associate position in a non university research institute. This will be the first time I've interviewed for a 'proper' job and just wondered if anybody had any words of wisdom to share. I haven't finished my thesis yet, hoping to get it done by Easter if possible so I know this is something they will ask me about, just not sure what else to expect really so any advice welcome.

Thanks.

they will ask about possible date of joining.
Did they ask you to give a presentation about your ph.d research? if yes, try to follow the time limit. I was asked to give the presentation for 10 min (max). I wish you good luck for the interview.

Thanks rubygem :)

I've been told there will be a 20 minute test beforehand which requires no preparation but I have no idea what the test will be. I also have to give a 10 min presentation about my work and what I think I can bring to the job. I've got a few weeks to prepare which is good as I'm already quite nervous about it.

I suppose getting this interview is the motivation I need to get as much of the thesis written as possible over xmas!
