Information
Polish your CV
You should update your location to UK in your CV.
You don't need to put all your peronsal information on your CV. Usually, your name, phone number, email address and home address should be enough.
You don't have to list all your work experiences in your CV. Just put your job history which is related to the post you're applying for. It's better to keep the CV short, ideally no more than 2 pages.
You may also add a personal statement on the top of your CV to summarise your experience and aspirations if you think your CV isn't strong enough.

Interview
Due to the pandemic, most job interviews nowadays are held online. So remember that you have your Zoom account, webcam, microphone and speaker set up and a stable internet connection. You should also make sure you are in a quiet and undisturbed environment for your job interview.
STAR technique
Interviewers may use the STAR (situation, task, action, result) format to ask you some specific examples on which you have faced a recent challenging situation and what your target was, what action you took and what the outcome was. It is a good opportunity to show your capability and experience.

Average salaries by industry
The followings are information about the Average Salaries by industry for your reference. In April 2020, the median weekly earnings for full-time employees went up by 0.1 per cent compared to the previous year, meaning that the average person took home about £585.50 per week, which works out at around £31,461 a year. Actually, 20k is a good wage if you're young, fresh out of uni, still living with parents or in a house share but for a career it's not a lot. You'd still be living pay cheque to pay cheque. You can't buy a house or support a family on 20k. Lots of households support families on incomes of less than 20k. It would be difficult to get to know the salary range of the job you're looking for at the beginning, so we're providing the salary range of some industries for your reference, so you can ask for a good price when you're offered a job!
