We give you permission to be HONEST about what your old job was REALLY like!

<p>If you're interviewing after leaving a shitty job, there's a good chance you've been told that you should 'never talk bad about a previous job or employer.' It's career advice that's been passed down through generations, and while it has merit - we're worried our listeners are taking the advice TOO seriously and are scared to share any honest thoughts about previous jobs in interviews. </p><p>In this week's episode, Emma and Sarah give you permission to talk 'bad' about previous employers.</p><p>We help you understand the difference between playing the blame game/venting VERSUS painting an accurate picture of why you left, to help your interviewer understand how you got here, and what you'll be looking to AVOID in this new job.</p><p>We give you REAL examples of how you can tell the truth about awful situations, without harping on.</p><p>🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Interview Academy Alumni Sam! </p><p>"Y'ALL IT WENT SO WELL. I was very nervous going into it, and was beating myself up a bit for not spending enough time in the course as prep, but I am very, very happy with how the interview went! I felt like my strengths (building rapport with interviewers) were emphasized even more, I felt so confident with my career story response, and felt like I had the examples I needed and the structured I needed to answer everything they asked. I also feel like I got a good sense for the company and the team I would be working with, and am even more excited about the role. Fingers crossed!!!"</p><p>☕ Did our podcast help you out?
