197: Cracking the company values question (without selling your soul)

À propos de cet épisode

<p>Being asked about company values in a job interview can feel like a minefield. Do they want a big-picture statement, or a real-life example? And how do you stop yourself from sounding like you’ve just memorised their website?</p><p>In this week’s episode, Sarah and Emma break down how to answer values-based interview questions with confidence. Whether you’re interviewing in healthcare, corporate, government, or any workplace where values guide decision-making, we’ll show you how to stand out.</p><p>We cover how to remember company values (hint: acronyms are your best friend) and why specific examples are the key to success. You’ll also hear sample answers that demonstrate the difference between simply <em>saying</em> you align with the values and actually <em>showing</em> it through your work.</p><p>🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Lucy Kate who bought us 3 coffees!</p><p>"GIRLS!!! You helped get me the only job that I wanted! I quit my old workplace in April due to being extremely burnt out and went backpacking around Asia solo, completely unemployed with no back up plan. 6 weeks after applying for a job, I was notified that I was shortlisted and had an interview (federal gov so it takes a long time). At this point I was in a village in remote Thailand teaching English to kids at a school. I binged all your episodes and prepared hard. I had to google translate to one of the teachers asking to borrow a blazer and asking if the school could let all the kids know to stay away from my room as my interview was in the middle of lunch 😂. I thought I did okay at the interview but overthought a few things. It took a total of three months to find out I got the role with the panel providing comments on how well spoken I was and how much they loved my examples I tied into the questions. I can’t thank you girls enough for supporting me in a very unsettled period of my life. I am now enjoying time with family and friends back in AUS before moving back to the other side of the country to start my new role in October. Massive thanks girls, you're doing gods work 🙏🏼"</p><p>🎥 Check out BRAND NEW free training - Top Interview Tips <a href="https://www.interviewboss.com.au/top-interview-tips" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.interviewboss.com.au/top-interview-tips</a></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"> https://www.interviewboss.com.au/interview-academy</a></p><p>☕ Did our podcast help you out?
