213: Applying for Your First Manager Role: Getting the Mindset Right (Part 1)

Über diese Folge

<p>Going for your first manager-level role can feel like a whole different sport. Suddenly it’s less about your individual output and more about leadership, dealing with people problems and judgement.</p><p>In Part 1 of this two-part series, Sarah and Emma unpack the mindset shift you need when applying for your first leadership role. We discuss the fear of not feeling “ready,” why trying to fake management experience almost always backfires, and how employers actually think about potential vs experience. If you’ve ever worried that not having the title automatically rules you out, this episode is for you.</p><p>In the next episode (Part 2) we’ll get practical with leadership-focused interview questions and how to answer them. But first, let’s get your mindset right.</p><p>🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Leah who bought us a coffee!</p><p>"Hi guys! Last year I did a 1-on-1 coaching session with Sarah which was the best decision I ever made. It gave me the confidence I needed to get through some big interviews I’d landed, and resulted in the best interviews I’ve ever had and two job offers to pick from. Feeling super grateful for you girls and I’m super happy in my new role. I’ve now got super valuable advice for my CV and future interviews to keep forever.
