An exclusive interview is a one-on-one conversation between a journalist and an individual who agrees not to talk to anyone else about the subject before it’s published. It’s usually granted when the interviewee has news that’s important enough to warrant a first run with a top-tier publication.
What professional achievement are you most proud of? Interviewers want to know if you can take pride in your work, as well as understand how your past experience may benefit the role you’re applying for. Choose an accomplishment that shows professional determination, communication or organisation – such as leading a project from start to finish, winning a major award, or overcoming a challenge.
If you were to join this company, what changes would you make? This question is an opportunity for you to demonstrate your creativity and critical thinking skills. It’s also an excellent way to show interviewers that you have research about them, and are a great fit for the team.
Inclusive interview practices are a great way to make sure you see all of the best candidates for a role, regardless of their demographic, background or physical capabilities. Using scorecards and diverse panels will help you spot unconscious bias, as well as give you the confidence to ask questions that will uncover each candidate’s best qualities.
