In 2013 we became the official web partner of Interview Guru, a suite of online interview e-learning tools for individuals looking to secure a job or university place.

We’re now supporting the University Interview Guide Podcast, a series of twelve 20-minute episodes packed with discussion and advice on a range of topics, alongside excellent guidance on what to expect and how to prepare for that all-important university interview.  Here at Enbecom we’ve provided the technology behind the podcast, configuration of the feed, submission to the iTunes store, the subscription system and of course the design of the dedicated podcast webpage!

The podcast comes in two flavours: the full version available through a great value season pass, plus the free ‘light’ version: twelve 5-minute episodes, each with key information and invaluable guidance.

This week’s first episode includes the first set of tips direct from Cambridge undergraduates about what they think is important in terms of interview preparation and technique.
The podcast meets someone who loved science at school and has secured a place to read medicine at Oxford – Shaun McGill talks through what happened at his interviews.

And the podcast goes behind the scenes on an Oxford history of art interview.

About its first episode, the podcast description also reads:

Just to show that there’s always more than one way of answering a question, we meet a doctor, a theologian and an economist – and they each answer a recent interview question: “What’s the value of spending taxpayers money to keep old people alive?”

Roger Crisp, who brings many years of experience from teaching, broadcasting and coaching, helps us start with the very basics of an interview.

• What IS an interview?

• Why are interviews still part of the selection process?

• Describe the likely set-up of a selection interview – at university or in the work environment? Who will be involved?

• When can I start effective preparation for an interview?
