Nothing makes a person go weak at the knees quite like a job interview. No matter how experienced or accomplished you are, being quizzed on your suitability for a role, is nerve-wracking.
Helen McCabe and Jamila Rizvi have been on both sides of job interviews more times than they can count. And they’ve learned that most interviews come down to the same handful of questions - and the same common mistakes.
Enter: Shortlisted, a podcast by Future Women, where Helen and Jamila hold your virtual hand, and walk with you, every step of the way, to the interview door... and straight onto the shortlist.

Introducing Mindset: Your guide to getting out of your own way
Introducing the spiritual sequel to Shortlisted - Mindset. Mindset is a guide to getting out of your own way and a blueprint for professional success.
In this series, neuroscience coach Shelley Laslett will join FW’s Sally Spicer to explore the negative feelings that threaten to hold us back before FW’s Helen McCabe and Jamila Rizvi share their practical wisdom, moving you just that little bit closer to resilience and fulfilment.
In our first episode Shelley explains the science behind fear, and why our brain treats sitting in the waiting room ahead of a job interview the same as outrunning a bear.
After you're done listening, head over to Apple or Spotify to follow Mindset and listen to the rest of the series. And don't forget to rate and review!
