About this Event

Week 4 - 1:1 Mock Interviews + CV & Digital Impression Review

Week 4 — 1:1 Mock Interviews + CV & Digital Impression Review


Format: Rotating 1:1 interviews • Live feedback • Final polish

Bring: Interview-ready outfit/top, updated CV/LinkedIn, and your Week 1 intro


What you’ll learn
  • Answering with discipline: deliver 60–90 sec STAR answers that land.
  • Handling probes & silence: stay composed under interruption, curveballs, and follow-ups.
  • Presence under pressure: voice, pace, posture aligned to the message.
  • Final polish: CV headline and LinkedIn “About” tightened to match your interview story.

Why it matters

Interviews reward clarity + evidence. This lab simulates the pressure, surfaces gaps fast, and locks in a repeatable interview rhythm.


You’ll leave with
  • Two practised answers (competency & values/culture) with written coach notes.
  • A curveball framework (“pause → reframe → pick 1–2 levers → close”).
  • A refined CV/LinkedIn headline that matches your spoken story.
  • A personal upgrade plan if required.

Who this is for
  • Anyone who knows their content but stalls under pressure.
  • Students who want measurable improvement before real interviews.
  • Candidates needing UK-norm interview style and fit signals.
