How do I pass UK graduate job interviews? I've probably taken part in about 30 processes for internships and graduate roles since 2013 and failed all of them (though I have passed individual phone interviews).

Almost all questions are basic questions about the company or competency questions. I know about the STAR format for the latter. I think the only reason I may fail these is due to not being a normie. I've interviewed with companies in many industries (investment banks, public sector, engineering, and more) and it seems that every recruitment process desires glib normies who are above a low intelligence threshold and who were President of the Anything Society at university.

Do you have any advice for giving off the normie vibe? You may say stuff like "Be concise, structure your answers and so on" but I know literally all of that.

You may know all the right answers, but how's your delivery? Do you give interviewers a weird creepy vibe?

Honestly, sometimes my voice gets clogged up when I'm nervous. But I don't know if it's a big deal. I talk in a straightforward way

you're still applying to graduate roles since graduating in 2013? what have you been doing since then? and what degree can get you into banking, public sector, engineering and more?
