Ever been hit with an interview question that feels like it has five different parts rolled into one? You start answering, then halfway through you realise you’ve completely lost track of what they even asked. Multi-part interview questions are the worst and they pop up all the time, especially in government, education, and healthcare recruitment. In this week’s episode, Sarah and Emma break down exactly why interviewers ask these diabolical mega-questions, the different types you might come across, and how to tackle them without freezing up or rambling. From two-criteria-in-one to full multi-part criteria dumps (yes, they’re as bad as they sound), we’ll give you practical tools to stay calm, stay structured, and actually impress the panel. We’ll cover how to take quick notes without it feeling awkward, why repeating the question is your secret weapon, and the step-by-step way to break down your answer so you don’t leave out the good stuff. 🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Foxypee who bought us 5 coffees! "Thank you so much for your inspiring, comprehensive, practical, authentic, accurate, backed by evidence & real life experience podcast. I could go on with more adjectives but really I just wanted to express my thanks for everything that you so generously do in putting out your content into the world. It's so valuable that it really shouldn't be available for free! I recently went through a recruitment process for 2 jobs & had many rounds of interviews & I got one of them (it's the best fit of the 2!). After a 5 year break from being in a recruitment process, following your advice (ALL OF IT!) made such a difference to my confidence, performance & I'm sure the end result, right down to the salary & start date negotiations.
