Good reading, and good people to know.

Weekly reads
Every read, in one place.
What interviewers actually notice
Most candidates over-prepare answers and under-prepare delivery. The balance is the wrong way round.
Online interviews are a different skill
The medium changes what good looks like. Treat it as its own format, not a lesser version of the real thing.
What assessments are really testing
The format varies enormously between organisations. Knowing which one you’re facing is half the preparation.
Assessment and classroom days
Almost everything here is a test of how you work with other people. Very little of it is a test of whether you’re the cleverest person in the room.
How to play the cycle
Individual applications matter less than how you approach the whole season.
The STAR method, and where people lose marks
Everyone tells you to use STAR. Far fewer tell you which part actually earns the marks.
Staying steady after a rejection
This is a numbers game with a lot of noise in it. Knowing that changes how it feels.
Beyond Lios
Who it points you to.
Communities
Societies and networks where people going for the same routes share what they know.
Coaches
Specialists for the moments when you want a person in the room.
Test providers
Places to practise the formal assessments organisations use.
Our view
Lios does not do everything. Where a coach, a community or a test provider does something better, we would rather send you to them.
