I have an interview for a Trainee Mortgage Advisor, help?
Part of the interview consists of a numeracy test which you don't need to be a mortgage advisor for. The test comes with a calculator. What sort of questions would I expect? Has anyone ever done a test like that before?
Also my job before my current one I was dismissed. I worked in banking as a cashier and had some cash errors and was one error over their limit which led to dismissal. The amounts were minor but they had to follow procedure. Should I mention this at interview? If so, how? Since that job I've worked in Human Resources.

Google Functional Skills in Maths 1&2, these are the type of Qs you will answer.
Never say anything negative in an interview, so leave out your mistakes.

I can't comment on what to expect on the test. As for your employment history, I would dodge teh question about being dismissed. Just tell them, "I worked for ___ bank from ___ to ____. I transitioned into Human Resources and started working at ____".
Answering this way is perfectly honest, and doesn't give any more details than absolutely necessary. If they ask why you transitioned into HR, answer it from the perspective of what you liked about HR, and not from the perspective of why you left the bank. So make it about the new job, not the old one.
Good luck!
