                                Interviews often involve a 4 part structure.
     1.   Before the interview
         This is when you should research the organization / university / course.
     2. The start of the interview
         This involves greeting the interviewers and can include general questions about you, your 
     interest in the position and knowledge of the organization / university / course. 
     3. The middle of the interview
         Questions are often divided into two categories: position specific questions and 
     competency based questions.
     4. The end of the interview
         This is your opportunity to ask questions to the interviewer.
      Please note that not all interviews will follow this structure. It is meant as a guide only.
