I'm especially keen to hear from anyone who can't draw on existing institutional knowledge of the scheme (existing FLFs or panel members) - what will help lift the lid on the interviews?
Invited for a Future Leaders Fellowship interview?
Need some help preparing?
I'm putting together something today to support applicants and those who are helping to prepare them.
Post your questions here (or message me.)
Easiest format for me is a short video - brief doc could follow.
