Ever gone into an interview 100% prepared for any question that an interviewer might throw you? Thought not.

Ever gone into an interview 100% prepared for any question that an interviewer might throw you? Thought not.

With widespread advice and tips available to graduate job seekers on interviews some selectors have to ask questions out of the ordinary to really test candidates. So instead of, "Tell me about your greatest achievement", you might get "Are there more hairs on a dog than there are dogs in the UK?" It's the way you respond to this that the interviewer will be assessing.

GRB work with selectors from some of the UKs toughest recruiters (that doesn't include Sir Alan Sugar!) so we are able to prepare graduates we represent with a fighting chance. For analytical roles, where curveball questions can throw candidates, we recommend the best responses and the confidence they get from this really shines through. If you want GRB to analyse your CV, select suitable jobs and represent you for free you need to join us today.
