Then I got pulled into a group interview with three separate tasks: a 60-second pitch on a random statement, a mock phone call with a randomly assigned scenario, and a final task where I picked a CV and pitched it to a client in a mock face-to-face meeting.

After that, there was a straight 1 on 1 interview. The whole experience felt designed to test how quickly I could think and how I performed under “real life” pressure, not just whether I could talk comfortably
