[QUOTE="Ram Sabaratnam, post: 214253, member: 36738"] Hiya [USER=38088]@ilovegardening1111[/USER] Great questions! Yep, it’s totally fine to ask graduate recruitment who your interviewers will be. However, just keep in mind that firms vary in how much they’re willing to share. Some will give you names ahead of time, which can help you prepare and feel more confident going in. Others prefer not to, which can be their way of keeping the process consistent or seeing how candidates perform without advance knowledge. Either way, there’s no harm in asking; just be prepared that the answer may be a polite no. If you [I]do[/I] get the names, then I would definitely encourage you to look up your interviewers. It’s not about stalking; it’s about being curious and thoughtful. Normally, you'll bring this up at the end of your interview, when you're given a chance to ask questions of your interviewers. I once asked an interviewer about a dissertation she wrote during her undergrad that I learnt about through a podcast appearance she did. She was completely surprised and the panel was amused (in a good way). We ended up having a great conversation because of it. So don’t worry too much about seeming 'stalkerish'. If something in your interviewers' background genuinely connects with your interests or experience, it’s completely fine to mention it in the interview. You could say something like, “From my research, I saw that you worked on X; I’d love to hear more about what that experience was like.” Best of luck with any interviews you have coming up :) [/QUOTE]
