Description

Nothing makes a person go weak at the knees quite like a job interview. No matter how experienced or accomplished you are, being quizzed on your suitability for a role, is nerve-wracking.

Helen McCabe and Jamila Rizvi have been on both sides of job interviews more times than they can count. And they’ve learned that most interviews come down to the same handful of questions - and the same common mistakes.

Enter: Shortlisted, a podcast by Future Women, where Helen and Jamila hold your virtual hand, and walk with you, every step of the way, to the interview door... and straight onto the shortlist.
