Interview Boss
About this episode

You’ve landed the interview, you’ve nailed your “tell me about yourself” story, and pulled out your best bits, but HOW do you answer those dreaded “tell me about a time when…” questions?

In this week’s episode Sarah and Emma talk about how to structure answers to behavioural interview questions. We role play with mock questions so you guys will get to hear what works well in the answers, how to strengthen them and the common mistakes that come up.


🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Lily! Lily says she landed her dream job thanks to the podcast!

She wanted to change her career from education to become a proofreader. An incredible opportunity came up and after getting through the second round she began to listen to the pod. “It helped me so much and listening to you calmed my nerves up to right before my interview! Thank you for making me laugh and smile while also sharing such incredible knowledge.” Lily got a call back 20 MINUTES after the Interview!! And they even offered her more money than she asked for!
