Why you need to take your dream job off ...

Interview Boss
About this episode

Look, we get it. You've landed an interview for your DREAM JOB. But here's the thing - slapping the 'dream job' label on it can bring some serious jitters. 

In this week’s episode, Sarah and Emma are tackling the pressure cooker situation when you're in the running for that golden role. We're all about helping you shake off the nerves and show up as your awesome self. We'll serve up some down-to-earth strategies to shift that mindset, so you can turn up to that interview excited but confident, letting the real you shine through.

🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Kate “Hi Sarah and Emma, you guys had no idea how much you've helped me in this job search! Before listening to your podcasts, I couldn't even know how to answer "Tell me about yourself". And because of that, I rarely passed the 1st round of interviews. I was scared to tell them where I'm from because my 1st language isn't English and my job is in the legal field. I simply did not know about myself and never reflected on why I wanted to be in this field. But you guys appeared in my life like ANGELS!!! After listening to your podcasts religiously, and I meant RELIGIOUSLY. It makes so much sense why I was so bad at interviewing. I decided to attend a coaching session with Sarah. And OMG was that the best investment I've ever made in myself!!! After the coaching session, I CONSISTENTLY made it to the final rounds of all the jobs that I applied. And I'm happy to share that I finally got an offer!! They offer $20K more than I currently make, a hybrid working schedule and much better benefits. I cannot do this without your help. Please, keep up the good work!”
