'Answering Modern Day Job Interview Questions' Episode 124 May 02, 2025

Show notes

Welcome to the 'Bakery Bears Radio Show' Episode 124

Our daughter Bryony has recently been applying for part time jobs. In the process of supporting her through that, we have seen lots of example job interview questions from 2025. We were amused and surprised by what we read, so we thought it would be fun to try and answer some of these questions on the show. From when we pack our suitcase to how we handle stress, this is such a surprising show!

Join Kay & Dan as they:

Talk about their daughter Bryony and her quest for a part time job
Discuss the types of questions asked at job interviews today and how they would answer them
Talk about how they create new ideas whatever the challenge may be
Shares their thoughts on favourite biscuits
Reflect on stressful situations and how they approach getting through them
Discuss technology and the challenges embracing it can present as well as the benefits
Talk about some of their childhood challenges and how it effected their adult lives
Reflect on their journey with Bakery Bear productions and how fortunate they feel to be in a job they adore

We'll see you soon with our next Radio Show!
