I may be wrong in saying this, so please correct me. I don't think it should be a problem. Sure, it's more comfortable if your boss is a female, but you can't necessarily pick a job based on that. You'll have many male employers and co-workers that you will have to interact with on an almost daily basis. You cannot avoid this. You can, however, be polite but distant and keep all conversations on a formal level. I think that way you won't be breaking any rules.
However, if you are really uncomfortable, you can perhaps request a female interviewer, but if they don't offer one, I would recommend continuing with this one especially if it is a good job opportunity. If however, you find a suitable working environment that is primarily female, that would be a good opportunity to consider. Also, you might want to ask the employer more about the job and if it entails a lot of interacting with males.

Come on man, ur living in the UK. You'll have to take the interview then. That's it. As us people live in Kaafir rulings, we are gonna have to adjust. You know ur limits, and if you stay with them, Allaah swt knows ur position.
dont shake his hand, dont be alone with him, etc etc (just politely refuse and explain why). just because it is work doesnt stop the normal ettiquettes of male / female relations apply.

You may aswell not attend the interview , you'll get same result lol.
Truth is, if he thinks you can't shake his hand, or even be in a room with him without being uncomfortable - they won't see you fit for their company, why would he hire you over the others especially as competition is pretty rough as it is, he just got a reason to filter you out, period...
Im not disagreeing or agreeing whether its right or wrong (your statements) - but it is somthing to consider that, you may be losing on alot of job offers.
Fight in the way of God, against those who fight against you, drive them out of the places they have drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. Fight them, until persecution is no more, and Religion is for God. But if they stop, let there be no war.
He's not gonna try anything with u, chill His job's more important
wat the ...
the sisters clearly worried about upholding her islamic values, she doesnt want to negotiate the islamic teachings of not ever being alone with another man due to the shaytaans influence, it doesnt matter if he doesnt try anything with her, its more important that she does whats best to please Allah !

In the workplace and in day to day life, the first thing that people will notice about you is the fact that you are Muslim, so make sure a good impression of Islam stays with them...let them know in the most polite manner that Islam does not allow its women to be alone in the company of strange men.
If the company concerned values its employees, they would not say no to you requesting a female to be present during the interveiw. Most often than not, 2-3 people are involved in the interviewing process anyway. All the best sister. Safeguard your Imaan. Wassalam
