And this week we are going to be talking about how to do a great interview. But before we get into that, I think we should have a little chat about our weeks.

So how are you getting on this week?

0:26.0

Well, this week is feeling particularly squiggly and full on.

0:30.9

I really enjoy having jobs that have peaks and troughs.

0:34.1

I actually find that really energising.

0:36.2

But there's peaks and then you know when there's
