About this episode

<p>We often talk about how tricky it is to land that first job after graduating from uni. But what about your SECOND job after uni? Early in your career, every move can feel so critical. It can also feel like a funny middle ground - you’re not yet experienced, but also not a grad anymore - can you even mention things you did during your degree anymore!?</p><p>In this week’s episode, Sarah and Emma answer a question from a listener Jeff who is thinking about his future, and give him some practical tips and that special flavour of Interview Boss wisdom.</p><p>🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Katie who bought us 5 coffees!</p><p>“I've owed you these coffees for a while! Two years ago I found your podcast while applying for a role which was similar to my existing job (comms), but in a field that I wanted to move into (policy). It completely changed how I approach the job application process. Your episodes on crafting your career story, tips on the 'casual chat', and your mindset episodes for before and after an interview were so helpful. I was offered the role and accepted it, hoping that it might be a doorway to a career pivot. Two years on and a policy role finally came up internally, working in an area I'm passionate about and in the team I want to work in. I put my hand up, and listened to your episodes about internal interviews, which helped me to just accept that it was going to be a bit awkward! This meant I could get out of my head and just focus on demonstrating my transferable skills, and owning what I'd achieved despite some of this being shared wins. I was offered the role and will start in a few weeks! I tell everyone who's job hunting about this podcast, thanks for all the work you put into it ”</p><p>🎥 Check out BRAND NEW free training - Top Interview Tips <u><a href="https://www.interviewboss.com.au/top-interview-tips" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.interviewboss.com.au/top-interview-tips</a></u></p><p>🏫 To get step by step help with your interview prep on demand check out our Interview Academy<a href="https://www.interviewboss.com.au/interview-academy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><u><a href="https://www.interviewboss.com.au/interview-academy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.interviewboss.com.au/interview-academy</a></u></p><p>☕ Did our podcast help you out?
