If you are in your final year at university of studying one of the sciences, then you may very well be starting to look for potential employers now. You may even already have a job in the field of science, but are looking to swap companies or enhance your career prospects.
UK Net Guide jobs offer many resources and links to companies crying out for qualified personnel - Just like you!
Approaching an interview can be quite daunting, especially if you are still at university, and so anticipating what skill sets interviewers may be looking for in regards to different science jobs can give you an edge.
Assuming that you are enquiring about a job in the field of science that you are studying, or have studied, it will pay to refresh yourself of all aspects of it, including on current events that many have been in the news recently. An interviewer may also question you as to any special projects that you may have been involved in. It pays to be prepared to answer the questions before they are asked!
An interview may also ask how your practical lab skills are, which area of science appeals to you most, and if you work well in a team. Interviewers may be in two categories, the personnel interviewer who is interested in your ability to fit in, and a 'scientist' whose interview skills may be limited, and who will therefore ask you more subject-related questions.
A career in science is an enjoyable and rewarding one, but the first hurdle is to find a job and then pass the interview. After that, you will be doing what you enjoy!
