19. Nail Your Interview
Welcome back to episode 19 of Beyond the Shop Floor podcast.
If you have ever wondered why you are being asked those competency based questions...
What are you looking for? Tell me about yourself? This is the ONE for you!
Possibly one of the most common complaints I hear from candidates, friends, private career coaching clients and the whole world – is how excruciating they find interviews. No matter how much of a bad ass professional they might be – pop them in an interview and all those carefully curated answers disappear from their head.
First of all – there are a whole heap of truth bombs that I introduce you to during interview coaching. The first being its NEVER as bad as you think it is!
Secondly – yep, like all things that our mums told us that is annoyingly true – practise does indeed make perfect(ly impressive)
Third and most important – an interview my loves is a TWO WAY STREET! Its not all about whether they love you – do YOU love them? When we get too wrapped up in trying to be the perfect example of whatever you have perceived they are looking for – you miss the opportunity to observe the interaction, ask crucial questions and decide if it’s a love affair worth investing 40 hours a week in!
As always tune in, tell us your thoughts, and if you love the content please leave us a review or share the pod – we love the love!
