Q: I have been asked to give a ten-minute presentation as the start of the second interview for the job. I have never done anything like this before. It's an online interview, just to complicate matters. Any tips? (FG, email.)

Q: I went for promotion in my own company. The interview panel surprised me by asking a lot of technical questions about my current role. I work in a highly regulated sector with countless items to check, documents to complete and reports to file. I found it difficult to articulate what I do, even though I am very attentive on the job. It felt like they were trying to catch me out. Any tips? (EN, email).

Q: The interview panel asked me if I knew the difference between leadership and management. It completely threw me. I’ve been a manager in my company for a few years and I’d always seem leadership and management as being much the same thing. I didn’t get the job and I’d like to be better prepared for a similar question in the future. Any tips? (LF, email).

Q: In the interview, I felt I gave a good account of how things operate in my department. I talked about how we schedule our work, how we ensure that nothing slips through the cracks, and how we evaluate completed projects. I didn't get the job and the feedback was that I failed to sell myself well enough. I really don't know what else I could have done. Any tips? (EC, email).

Q: I applied for a job yesterday, they rang first thing this morning and want to interview me on Friday. Can I therefore take it that they are very keen to hire me? (DL, email)

Q: I've been working from home for six months now. While I like a lot about it, I sometimes feel isolated. I also suspect I may miss out on opportunities in the future. About half the members of our team have returned to the workplace and I feel they could be stealing a march on me. Is there anything I can do now to ensure that I simply don’t fall ‘out of sight, out of mind’? (DD, email).

Q: I am completing an internship at a company in a month’s time. Six of us came in on a graduate programme and I have been selected to deliver a wrap-up address at a significant company gathering. I must summarise the internship: what I learned and how I feel my future career will benefit from this experience. I'm told it's quite an honour to be selected and I want to make the most of it. Any tips? (OP, email).
