If you have been offered an interview for a Money adviser or Debt counsellor then you will have had some previous experience in providing advice to a variety of people in good and bad circumstances. You will need to have a compassionate nature and be able to communicate well remembering that not all your clients will understand the information that you are telling them.

You will need to not judge your clients; you are there to provide advice on how they can make a difference to their worries and lives and to turn their lives around. Having debt is one of the biggest worries that people have so it is important to understand how bad some people will be feeling and how you can help them.
Your interviewer will be looking to see what experience you have had of counselling people before, what qualifications and courses have you been on to enhance your skills. You will need to be able to demonstrate that you are compassionate to other people and that you act in a very confidential manner at all times as you will be privy to some very confidential information.
