About this episode

They might be super chatty, in a bad mood, or not ask you any proper questions. If you have a bad interviewer it can be easy to feel like you aren’t getting a chance to use all your prep work.

If you're faced with a bad interviewer, don't freak out, stay calm and positive, and remember to tell them about yourself. In this week’s episode, Sarah and Emma teach you how to deal with a bad interviewer and turn the interview around.

I'm so glad I could use your poddy again, it's absolutely timeless! Definitely going to shout you both a coffee 😉”
