Shortlist.Me
Last Updated: March 11th 2025
Shortlist.Me enables students and recent graduates to identify strengths, practice their interview skills, practice aptitude tests and tackle job simulations.
It recreates elements of the online interview process that may be experienced when applying for jobs or courses. The aim is to build confidence, and it is a great way to practice in a safe environment.
It’s a great starting point to find out what sort of questions you might be asked or tests you might have to complete in bite size activities.
Some Shortlist.Me practice interviews have been created by Birmingham Newman University staff and others from real graduate employers from a range of industries.
