Q: They’ve asked me to do a 12-minute presentation at a job interview next week. The presentation will focus on the challenges I see for the sector (car sales) in the years ahead. I have very little experience of this kind of thing – the interview is for the position of financial controller. Where would I even begin to start with the likes of this? (AH, email).

Q: My good friend and I are both competing for the same job. He has shown his hand publicly and is very keen to get it. I don’t mean to upset the apple cart – but I want the job too, simple as? (CR, email).

Q: For the last three years I have been in college fulltime, embarking on a new career path. I’ve loved every day of it, even the difficult assignments and challenging exams. I’m graduating this summer. Prior to this second college stint, I worked in a sector I didn't enjoy and had five jobs in seven years. Each time, I just got bored or felt that the company wasn't right for me. However, since going back back to college, I have realised that my earlier career was the problem, not individual companies within the sector. I had that hunch all along, but college has confirmed it for me. However, I now fear that employers will see me as an unsettled individual who just jumps from job to job? Any tips on how I make sure this doesn’t hold me back? (DR, email).

Q: How can I create an exit strategy to leave a job gracefully? My time here is done. I’m not sure what comes next, and that frightens me a bit I must admit, but I can’t wait here any longer or I’ll go from the wire. I don’t want to leave here on bad terms, though, difficult and all as things have been. (FG, email).

Q: I’ve been offered six months in a company where I would really like to build a long-term career. It is a temporary project with a September deadline. Once that’s over, I’ll be gone. Any tips for how I can make a name for myself and possibly stay on after the six months now that I have my leg in the door? (AR, Email)

Q: I’m going for an interview in my own company next week. I’ve been working here for ten years and, to be honest, I have been kept down by my boss, despite my best efforts to get involved in various initiatives. She has now retired, and I fear that in the interview I will be asked why I haven’t made more of an impact on my department over the year. The reality is I couldn’t really get a look-in, but will that reason cut it in the interview? (CD, email).
