Over deze aflevering
<p>If you have an interview coming up and are a little tempted to wing it, then this episode is for you!</p><p>This week Sarah and Emma debunk the idea that because you didn't do 'XYZ' last time and everything worked out, you shouldn't worry about doing it this time either.</p><p>We share a range of reasons interviews might have felt easy in the past and <span style="font-family: var(--bs-font-sans-serif); font-size: 1.125rem; color: var(--bs-accordion-color);">remind you that interview prep is like the seatbelt of job hunting: you don’t always </span><em style="font-family: var(--bs-font-sans-serif); font-size: 1.125rem; color: var(--bs-accordion-color);">need</em><span style="font-family: var(--bs-font-sans-serif); font-size: 1.125rem; color: var(--bs-accordion-color);"> it, but you’re glad to have it when you do.</span></p><p>🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Dora who bought us 3 coffees!</p><p>“Hi, Emma and Sarah, the past few months have pretty hectic career-wise and I want to thank you being there all along! I was approached by a firm offering an incredible 35% raise, and I did my best to get the job. I listened to your tips about best bits, how to make the most of the 'tell me about yourself' part of the interview, questions I should ask at the end etc. All went great and I got the job! Shortly after starting though, I found out that the role was not exactly how I imagined and my boss was unfortunately a very toxic person, so then came a totally desperate phase in my professional life. I couldn't have got through it without your podcasts on job regrets, and on how to survive at a place you already know is not meant for you. I was interviewing at other places while trying to hold on in my horrible new job. Your podcast helped me reflect on what I was actually looking for and how to prepare for my next move. I'm so happy to tell you that thanks to you I got exactly the type of job I was looking for and also managed to negotiate to keep my salary with the 35% raise, which I had previously achieved. I cannot believe I can do what I like and for the money I couldn't have imagined before. Thanks for your podcast on literally ALL topics related to job hunting. I'm sure you will be on the top of my yearly Spotify recap. ;)”</p><p>🎥 Check out our 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?
