    Buckingham Palace interview experiences
    Hiya,

    I just find out I've been invited for an interview at Buckingham Palace for a position as a Warden with the summer opening team. Since I'll be flying in from Sweden I've no idea of what to expect at the interview because I don't know how much English interview ethics differ from the Swedish ones. Has anyone been to an interview for this position before? The woman I'm supposed to be having the interview with is Nicola Peatfield.
    Also, has anyone done the job before? It seems like such fun which obviously is why I applied.

    Looking forward to your replies

    /Jasmine
