Interview Resources

mmiriam1 — 2026-01-19 09:31:51 UTC

All Interviews:

Read through the job description carefully, you could even put it through something like Chat GPT and ask it to generate potential questions
Utlise all the resources here: https://www.arts.ac.uk/students/student-careers/career-resources/preparing-for-job-interviews
I found this really useful from https://asyncinterview.io/post/pre-recorded-video-interview-tips/:
Your STAR Storytelling Arsenal
Building your STAR stories beforehand is one of the most effective pre recorded video interview tips you can use. When you're outlining your responses, leveraging tools to boost your preparation productivity can be a game-changer.
Build Your Library: Don't wait for the interview to start thinking of examples. Prepare 8-10 distinct STAR stories covering key skills like problem-solving, teamwork, and leadership. Have a mix of big wins and challenging situations you navigated successfully.
Quantify Your Results: The "R" in STAR is where you close the deal. Don't just say you "improved efficiency." Say you "implemented a new workflow that reduced project delivery time by 15% in Q3." Specifics sell. Vague claims don't.
Time Your Delivery: Brevity is a virtue. Practice delivering each story out loud. Aim for 90 seconds to two minutes. This ensures you're thorough but respectful of the reviewer's time. Record yourself to check your pacing.
