Before your interview, plan out your five to ten-year career plan. Make several versions, one of which is tailored to what Oxford has to offer your future. Mapping this out will advertise how dedicated you are to your chosen field and how seriously you take what this Oxford opportunity has to offer your long-term career goals. Also put some effort into exploring the many benefits Oxford offers beyond your studies and degree, such as Oxford's Career Service, which extends for a lifetime for free.
