Is asking for feedback after an intervie...

Interview Boss
About this episode

So you didn’t get the job. It’s disappointing, puzzling, and infuriating and you just CRAVE a bit of closure - if only you knew what it was that lost you the job, so you could fix it!

In this week’s episode, Sarah and Emma talk about the pros and cons of getting feedback after an interview process. We talk about whether you will get it, how to ask, and how to make sure it’s actually useful.

🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Ruth “Thank you Sarah and Emma for your incredible podcasts, content and coaching! After 4 months without work in my area following a redundancy, I have now landed a job at my dream company. I only discovered you in the last month or so and listening to your podcasts created an anchor through the dark times of job searching. It can truly start to feel so hard and erode your self esteem and sense of direction and I found you really helped me build myself back up. My advice for other listeners, listen to interview boss and also trust your gut. You are your own best expert on your skills and the industry you want to be in! I had a bunch of other companies and people telling me my cv mustn’t be good enough and there was no way I would get a job without their exact advice - Sarah and Emma are not like this! Thank you for giving gentle practical advice to make me shine without tearing me down or trying to convince me I don’t know anything about how to find a job. It sounds simple enough but there are lots of voices out there in the CV writing, career coaching game and you guys are so kind, approachable, wise and generous with your free podcasts and resources. I no doubt will continue to use everything I learnt (and continue to learn as a committed listener) through my career progression! Love Ruth”
