Yesterday, the offer came in! After 18 years with the same company, I was actually head hunted for a VP of Sales position, a big move up. Being in sales I get contacted a lot for jobs, but none had ever interested me, until this one, which I thought was worth giving a go. I haven’t had a proper interview in almost a decade, so I was very nervous when I found out I’d have four separate interviews with members of the C-suite including my manager and the CEO. I went online and found you all and binge listened to about 15 of your most relevant episodes. I felt so prepared having all my best bits laid out and found ways to roll them into every response that I could. I left each interview knowing they were impressed with my responses and I owe a chunk of that to you both. After a slightly nerve-racking reference period, yesterday I got the offer OVER my asking salary. You provide a great service and I’ve already shared your podcast with my family and friends! Thank you from the U S of A!”</p><p>🎥 Check out our 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?
