About the interviewees

Upon finishing your last exam or project, even before your convocation, you started on the first step of your job hunt – researching the job market. And after much back-and-forth with yourself, you’ve picked out the role and company you think fits you best based on the job description offered, research into the company, as well as your unique skill set.

This story might be a common theme if you’re in humanities – with graduation looming, you’ve been hearing of friends in majors like business or science having interviews lined up, or already offered full-time roles. And yet, you’re facing difficulties in your job search, even when applying to general roles that are open to all academic disciplines.

After sending in your application and waiting for about a week, it’s here! You’ll be going for the coveted interview with your prospective employer. After all, it’s an unspoken understanding that you have a pretty good chance of landing a role if you’ve been invited for an interview!
