About this listen

 In this episode of The Working Week with entrepreneur Ben Askins - as job interviews are voted the most FEARED out of any other form of public speaking - Ben brings you the top 5 most common interview mistakes and how to avoid them, to help you hate interviews just that little bit less.

You’ll get Ben’s unfiltered take on why 64% of us believe we’re unqualified for the roles we’ve been offered interviews for, and why long and lazy job descriptions are a major culprit! You’ll also get Ben’s sound advice on how to tackle tedious and outdated questions like: “Why the long career gap?!”

Whether you’re someone who simply hates interviews and could do with a major confidence boost, you’re an employer who needs to get with the times, or you’re a seasoned interviewee who could do with scrubbing up on successful salary negotiations, this one’s for you. You’ll also get Ben’s best advice for companies and businesses, and a few laughs along the way!
