Interview Boss
About this episode

POV: you're up for an internal promotion, excited about the potential to grow within your current organization. But there's a twist - your boss will be on the interview panel. The mix of familiarity and pressure can be daunting, and we’ve gotten plenty of question about how you should approach it.

In this week’s episode, Sarah and Emma talk about some of the reasons you might be intimidated by having to interview with your boss, and we give you ALL the advice to make sure they don’t throw you off your interview game.

🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Brooke “Brooke S bought 3 coffees

I started job searching in local government a month ago and I was so nervous as I have never had a real interview and I thought I may get stuck in my job forever! I found your podcast and listened to your episodes in the car, when i was working out, in the shower, anywhere I could. I prepped like a boss and the interviewer told me it would be awhile to sift through the applicants as it was a highly competitive position so expect it to be weeks..... the same day they were contacting my referees and the next day I was given a preferred candidate offer!!! OMG thank you so much for the confidence boost and all your help. PS the notebook saved my life and I have shared the butt clench tip with all my friends :)”

Don't be fooled by the 'casual chat' trap
You’ve been invited in for a “casual chat.” No panel, no formal questions, maybe even coffee instead of a meeting room. Sounds chill, right? Not so fast. These chats might feel relaxed, but they’re still interviews, and plenty of people get caught out by treating them like they’r ... Show More
