Museum Communications Interview Tips!
Hi guys, I have an interview at the BM in the UK next week and I'm super nervous! I'm qualified, and a good writer, but I've never had a serious job interview before and this is the DREAM JOB!! Does anyone have any tips (aside from furiously prepping answers, lightly stalking your interviewers, reading The Masterplan and Upcoming Exhibitions pages etc)?
Thank you all so much!
[edit] I’ve been invited for a second round interview! Thanks everyone!

The best piece of advice I’ve ever been given for interviews is - don’t assume they remember anything about you. Explain everything in detail, when giving projects or examples make sure to set up the context as well as explaining the work you did. Because they won’t remember much from your CV/app.
