    I have some questions: 1. I’ve been rejected from about 50 interviews. (In the last one they found the excuse that I could have given more examples. There must have been 20 to 30 perfectly given interviews with no feedback at all. The feedback I got from a lot of them is that they went for another candidate). 2. Before the pandemic it only took around 4 interviews to secure a new role 3. I went to a top business school and have half a decade of experience working for blue chip companies 4. *I’ve been given the advice by some corporate operatives that I could still somehow secure a role at a top company even if I’ve been unemployed for half a dozen years* *Is it discrimination? Is it bias because there is money involved? I would just like to know what is going on as I’m being forced to retire early abroad/take a career break in the summer*..

    Hey Ain! Thanks so much for the video. It could not have come at a better time as I have applying for some publishing positions on my to-do list for this weekend :) Is there anyway you could give some tips for a personal statement next? I never know what the best tone to strike is. How much wiggle room do I have to show personality? Should the tone be formal and professional or am I allowed to add a little more voice? I struggle with trying to find what I feel like is an acceptable balance every time. You touched on this when you talked about having your friend read your personal statement, but if you have other tips, I'm all ears! Thanks again!

    Hey Marissa, thanks so much for watching and glad this has been of a little help! I'd say ideally you'd want something formal to be professional but also true to your personality traits. Ask yourself if a friend would recognise you in your statement, I find that helps me to make sure it's not too intense :) x
