À propos de cet épisode
<p>“Why did I apply? Well… I need the money” </p><p>In this episode, Sarah and Emma dive into a listener question from Abi, who asked how to professionally say she wants a job for the money, and because the hours suit her.</p><p>We unpack why those answers don’t quite cut it, and what employers are <em>really</em> asking when they say “Why do you want this job?”</p><p>Tune in for honest advice, real examples you can steal, and the shampoo analogy you didn’t know you needed.</p><p>🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Aaron “Hey girls, I’m Aaron. I just wanted to write in and say thank you! Your podcast was a little beacon of sanity throughout a very long, stressful and competitive interview process! I applied for my state's fire and rescue service last year, and followed along with your podcast for resume preparation, group assessment tips, interview preparation tips and guidance (those best bits kick butt!) and even on the advice like clenching my TOES! It did work! I found out last week that I am one of the very lucky few (60 from 8000 applicants) who successfully gained a position on a training course! I know I wouldn't have got here without the help of the Pod and you gals keeping me on track! Thanks again and unfortunately I don’t know if I’ll be listening in again - I hope to spend the rest of my career helping the community and keeping people safe! - but might tune back in just to see what’s new in the interview world!
