About the role
A junior tailor supports the cutting, assembly, fitting and finishing of garments under supervision. The interviewer is checking whether you can measure carefully, use sewing equipment safely, recognise fit problems and produce neat work while meeting agreed timelines.
How to prepare
- Review the order of construction for common garments such as shirts, trousers, skirts and simple dresses.
- Practise explaining how you take body measurements and add suitable ease for the garment style.
- Prepare examples of sewing faults you have corrected, including what caused each fault.
- Review safe machine setup, needle choice, pressing and care of customer fabric.
Common mistakes
- Guessing measurements instead of describing a repeatable method.
- Focusing on sewing speed while overlooking pressing, seam finish and alignment.
- Hiding a cutting or stitching error until material and time have been wasted.
