224: Screen Sharing During Remote Interviews: The New Live Task Trend

Sobre este episódio

<p>Being asked to share your screen on a meeting is stressful enough…let alone in an interview.</p><p>One of our listeners was told she’d need to complete a series of live tasks while screen sharing as part of the interview process. This included drafting an email to an executive, analysing data, and refining a presentation on the spot, all while talking through her thinking.</p><p>In this episode, Sarah and Emma break down this growing trend and why employers are leaning into it. We discuss what they’re really trying to assess and the importance of showing them how you think, not just what you know.</p><p>🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Mindy who bought 5 coffees!</p><p>"Hi Emma &amp; Sarah, I’m reaching out on a total high because I just signed my offer letter! I found your show just as I landed an interview with a major nonprofit that perfectly aligns with my values. I binged your episodes while decorating and reorganizing my daughter’s room for the 20th time, and on my many trips back and forth to the refrigerator (unemployment sure is fun). It gave me the opportunity to soak in your wisdom and let it become part of me on a cellular level. Your advice put me in the perfect headspace to successfully complete the initial hiring manager interview. The real challenge would be the second round. It was an 8-person panel asking behavioral questions (my biggest weakness). I spent the next week earmarking those episodes and building my story bank per your advice. I sailed through the first seven questions, but the final one stumped me a bit as I didn't have a canned response. Perhaps because it was a bit spicy or it sounded less-rehearsed, they actually loved the answer. The hiring manager even said that he really liked my answer, it must have resonated. They extended an offer the very next day! I’ve been telling everyone I know to tune in to your show, its such a gem and I'm so thankful I found it! It also spared my husband from having to sit and listen to me practice the real-time structuring and word-choicing of my responses. He's a very patient man but he was reaching his limit. Which reminds me, I really loved your advice about sounding like yourself, and not a newscaster, because I’m guilty of doing that. I’m going to keep listening to your podcast even though I landed the job, because you guys are a joy to listen to. Thanks again, I truly owe this win to you.”</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?
