Highlights:

“Don’t be afraid to be a bit of a stalker. Find out about the company and about the person, then you’ll have either common ground or a talking point to break the ice.” - 2:15 - Lauren Gamp

“There's loads of stuff that you guys can start doing now to differentiate yourselves when it gets into the interview stage, regardless of what grades you've got at university. Setting yourself apart is just as important.” - 16:00 - George Clode

“It’s not about you, it’s about them. Focus on the other party, not just selling yourself.” - 21:30 - Jeff Parris

“For the interview process, always remember you're being watched from the moment you arrive. Sometimes companies will ask the receptionist at the front of house, or the people you first interface with, ‘What were they like when they arrived? Were they engaging?’” - 25:30 - Niall Anderson
