Charlie and Daniel from On Air Dining, who provide an exclusive culinary service for the private jets of multi-millionaires, are looking for a concierge coordinator to manage their clients' needs from their base at Stansted Airport.

This series takes viewers into the heart of one of Britain's last 'secret spaces': the interview room. It's simple and authentic: real candidates competing for real jobs, filmed in microscopic detail, capturing every nuance. From a teenager looking for their first job to a single mum returning to work and an OAP seeking independence and self-worth, the process is the same. Nerves are tested and emotions run high, as the candidates know the only thing standing between them and the job is themselves. Jacqui O'Donovan, managing director of London-based waste disposal company O'Donovan, and her right hand man, Richard Clark, are interviewing for an executive assistant.

Real candidates battle it out against each other in pursuit of real jobs, filmed in microscopic detail to capture every nuance.

Keen to impress and win the job of their dreams are 52-year-old Mark, who has already applied for over 800 jobs, and 40-year-old part-time cleaner Tina, who wants to fulfil her potential. Others up for consideration are 51-year-old Jayne, who's been made redundant and finds the job market a minefield, 25-year-old fashion graduate Romilly, who is ready for a new career challenge, and 50-year-old door-to-door salesman Kevin, who says he has the integrity and honesty for the job.
