Get answers to your questions about job interviews from people who have been on both sides of the table.
Understand how to prepare, what interviewers are looking for, and the one piece of advice our guests would give to anyone heading to an interview tomorrow. We also talk about unconscious bias, why no-one is looking for perfection, and what interviewers can do to make the process better.
Thanks to Kathryn Eastwood (EY Foundation Director of Income and Employer Partnerships), Maria Owusu-Mensah (Analyst at BP, Co-Chair of EY Foundation’s Youth Advisory Board, and Young Trustee) and Antoni Davis-Phillip (Managing Consultant at Signify Technology) for your contributions.
