the Job Interview with Lucy Harper

Aiwan and Amy truly are the guests that keep on giving! Following their respective full episodes (which I really recommend checking out if you haven’t already), listeners were quick to comment on how enjoyable both guests were to listen to. It seems only fair to give the people more of what they want, so this bonus episode is filled with extras from episodes 1 and 2 which didn’t quite make the cut. There’s talk about my measly pension amount, more from Amy’s cat Bowie, and we finally get an answer to ‘how many cows are there in Canada?’. Well, sort of… Expect rougher audio and plenty of nonsense - this episode is a warts-and-all look behind the scenes of the Job Interview.

This episode is something of a reunion, as Amy and Lucy met during their (brief) time working together at Calrec Audio in 2019. Since then, Amy has gone on to become a Studio Manager on BBC Radio 5 Live, and you'll hear all about her journey to get that job having graduated as an Art student in London (via lots of bar jobs). Amy is living proof that passion and determination are more impressive to recruiters than specific qualifications, and her positive attitude will have you walking away from the episode ready to smash your own personal goals. This episode was recorded remotely due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and Wi-Fi issues (along with Amy's cat supervising the session) means that the audio quality may be lower than ideal at times - sorry!

In this episode, Aiwan Obinyan joins Lucy to talk about everything audio. There's a focus on podcasting - stemming from Aiwan's recent work on Growing up with gal-dem, BBC's Small Axe: The Podcast, and Snatched! for GAY TIMES - but it's essential listening for anyone wanting to know how to make it in any area of the audio industry. Aiwan has worked in composing, audio engineering, filmmaking and theatre, and in 2013 founded AiAi Studios (aiaistudios.com) so provides real value-for-money as a podcast guest. Aiwan's insights into her career and future aspirations will inspire anyone to try and make their passion profitable, and her candid and unfiltered approach made the interview a real pleasure to conduct and edit. This episode was recorded remotely due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Hello and welcome to the Job Interview! Just like any real interview there's a bit of waiting to do before things get started, so follow/subscribe, take a seat and make yourself comfortable. Unlike a real interview, you can sit back and relax - my amazing guests and I have taken care of all the talking - and you won't come away worrying whether you mentioned your volunteer work enough. I can't wait for you to hear about the twists and turns of starting a career, but in the meantime join the conversation - we're @jobinterviewpodcast on Facebook and Instagram. The first episode is dropping very soon so make sure you're ready, this is a job interview you won't want to miss...
