Do you have any interview tips?

My interview process comprised of three stages: application, a video interview and a face to face interview.

For the video interview be prepared for a 'curve ball' question (for example: 'name a successful UK brand'). Practice speaking confidently and clearly at home in front of family or friends and perhaps write down a list of questions you might expect to be asked.

For the face to face interview I was asked to produce a presentation on a topic of my choice. I chose a topic I felt comfortable and confident talking about. In addition, I was given a written test and was interviewed by three Partners within the firm.

Dress smartly, be confident and show your personality.
