reached my protential there and needed a fresh challage. If you were made redudent explain the situation why reduncane was used i.e. the entire company went into liquidation.

this means skills you have that can benfit them and what you are like as a person and where you mention AS again put it in a postive light such as "I have Asperger's sydrome but I have received social skills training from the college ect" and don't try and explain it to employers unless they ask for more infomation about it.

Put every job has pressure but I release this pressure in my free time by what ever you do to release pressure and mention you leave any home pressures at home and do not let it affect your work.

What are your hobbies not too many or they'll think you are too busy to work not good.

12 What questions have you for me?
Good questions. training, promotions, the protential boss and reviews ect
Bad questions. anything that involes money.

Remeber the interviewer is going to be just as neverous as you and there are good interviewers and bad interviews. You can bring notes to the interview just ask and you can take notes about them. remember to dress smartly and is appropriate to the job no tie if a manual job if office a must have(sorry if it is about guys) ladies can wear a smart blouse and trourses or skirt. I would take a copy of your CV and infomation on the company you are being interviewed for and a small notepad and a pen.
