Application Advice:
As well as work experience and relevant university work, focus on your transferrable skills. A degree won't fully prepare you for the work, you'll inevitably have no idea what you're doing when you start, but the skills you have will help you deal with that.
Interview Advice:
React well to being 'grilled' as they do that to test you under pressure.
