Interview chairs are uncomfortable. They’re designed to try you; test your mettle. You can find comfort in confidence and victory too. You have to wholeheartedly believe you’re the best fit for the job, to convince an interview panel that you are.

While scrutiny is to be expected, it’s important that we are aware of all we have to offer in terms of experience, skills and flair. It’s crucial that we don’t let a lack of trophy qualifications or other labels hold us back. Who we are and who we can be, are not limited by any award or tag.
