After listening to so many fantastic stories from your listeners, I finally get to share my own! In January I moved to Sydney (on my own) from Auckland. I’d just spent 7 years working for the same company, and had been shoulder tapped for most roles during that time, so my CV and interview prep were certainly in need of some help. Not only was I in a new city, I quit my job and set myself an ambitious goal to get out of Supply Chain sales and dive head first into the Tech industry. I applied for about 30-40 roles and was interviewed for around 10. Thanks to your support, it only took me 4 weeks to land on the company of my dreams! And the CEO told me yesterday that I gave one of the best functional interviews they’d ever seen. Across the 4 stage interview process I was well-prepared with my best bits. I even followed up afterwards when I thought of a better answer! I’m now 4 weeks in and I’m so grateful to be here. Thanks again, for everything you do.
