"Best Bits" explained - our game changing approach to preparing for interviews!

Bu bölüm hakkında

<p>Whether you're a longtime listener or new to the pod, chances are you've heard us mention 'Best Bits' before. It is undoubtedly one of our most important pieces of advice and underpins all of our teachings. </p><p>We thought it was time to revisit this game changing concept. Forget googling 'common interview questions' and trying to come up with specific answers for each one.</p><p>In this week's episode, Sarah and Emma explain why that's the exact OPPOSITE of where you should start. </p><p>We unpack how to brainstorm and structure your examples (best bits) so that you can walk out of that interview with confidence knowing you did yourself justice, regardless of what questions you were asked.</p><p>🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Shannon Tate who bought us 5 coffees!</p><p>“Hi Emma and Sarah, I am so glad I found you. I have spent the majority of my Career in the Military (close to 20 years) so have had minimal experience with traditional interview processes, having only done 3 interviews ever before this most recent job. I applied for a role with a company that I have wanted to work for, for a while. I had very little confidence in my resume so when I received an email letting me know I had a video/recorded interview I was excited but also terrified. I had done one of these once before and it was an awful experience. I have a friend who had recently been applying for jobs and had found your podcast. She forwarded me the link to your one on recorded interviews. The advice around letting your personality show through to see if you are a good culture fit was a game changer for me. It went better than I thought, though I still had a few cringe moments remembering back to what I had said and that it would be forever kept in video form. Amazingly, I got a call the very next day (before the recorded interview time frame had finished) to let me know I had an in-person interview. This is where I got serious and started bingeing all your episodes any time I was in my car. I also purchased the Interview Academy to make sure I was prepared as I could be. I felt super confident coming out of the interview and again got a call the following morning for a second interview with the GM. This went great and was followed up by a call only hours later to say I was moving onto the "vetting" phase. I am now days away from getting a contract. I cannot thank you enough and I have been recommending your podcast to anyone that will listen.”</p><p>Other episodes of ours that touch on 'Best Bits:'</p><p><a href="https://player.captivate.fm/episode/abc73a05-7faf-4531-bf53-6d36578509ae" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The BEST way to prepare for a job interview</a></p><p><a href="https://player.captivate.fm/episode/6010c286-2245-4adb-9adb-aa3f8e7b4b4f" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">How to answer behavioural job interview questions</a></p><p><a href="https://player.captivate.fm/episode/8da9d167-1627-42b9-afce-cb3366c4239f" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Interview worthy examples - what makes a good story?</a></p><p><a href="https://player.captivate.fm/episode/6b3ea215-807f-4ca2-ba8b-edd5c6fd2002" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">How to level up your interview answers: why the ‘situation’ matters most!</a></p><p><a href="https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/4061e15a-1de8-4443-9b8c-3ce0830b2b82/S4-E34-send-this-to-your-practice-buddy.mp3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Send this to your job interview practice buddy</a></p><p>🎥 Check out BRAND NEW free training - Top Interview Tips https://www.interviewboss.com.au/top-interview-tips</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?
