The Skyís the limit for BeMyInterviewer.co.uk

BSkyBís Talent Resourcing manager John-Paul Cardew, has joined www.bemyinterviewer.co.uk - Jobsiteís interactive video-based website which enables jobseekers to practise for interviews. He joins leading bosses including Duncan Bannatyne, Ruth Badger and Jacqueline Gold in asking candidates key interview questions on topics including money, experience, personality and selling yourself.

Launched in February 2008 BeMyInterviewer offers a completely new way to prepare for interviews. In the first three months that itís been live, BeMyInterviewer has attracted over 127,000 unique visitors to the site, with over a million videos streamed. BeMyInterviewer has also increased applications to Jobsiteís clientsí vacancies, with over 16,500 candidates coming through to view vacancies on Jobsite following their interaction with the interviewers on BeMyInterviewer.

BeMyInterviewer is updated regularly with new interviewers and is a helpful preparation tool for recruiters who are sending candidates to interviews. Equally, HR Directors and those responsible for interviewing will find BeMyInterviewer a useful resource in learning how their peers conduct interviews and get the most out of candidates.

As the latest new addition to BeMyInterviewer, John-Paul Cardewís interview style offers an interesting insight of recruitment in the major media company BSkyB. Working in partnership with internal clients, Cardew and the Broadcast & Corporate Resourcing team offer a customer-focused outlook which enables them to work proactively to engage the highest calibre individuals to become part of the BSKYB success story.

Cardew complements fellow media sector BeMyInterviewer panellist Moray Coulter (Production Talent Executive for ITV) to help prepare candidates for interviews for media roles.

Commenting on his interviewing experience, John-Paul Cardew says; ìI view the interview as a two way street. Itís more than just skills and experience, at Sky we are looking for candidates who are very engaged with BSkyB and the products we offer and reflect our culture and values. My pet hate is when candidates havenít done research on the company before their interview; researching is critical to being successful at interview and showing a real knowledge of the company as well as the job youíre going for. Iím pleased to be part of BeMyInterviewer, preparing candidates for interview, as I believe itís important that candidates are relaxed at interview in order to get as honest an assessment of them as possible.î
