About this episode

Job interviews can seem like high-wire acts. You need to carefully listen to the interviewer so they know you're attentive. Yet, you also need to be preparing your answer. Fortunately, there are ways to do both with a little practice.

Stanford's Matt Abrahams teaches people how to do just that on the Think Fast, Talk Smart podcast and in his book Think Faster, Talk Smarter: How to Speak Successfully When You're Put on the Spot. He joined LinkedIn News Editor Andrew Seaman on the latest episode of Get Hired to explain how you can be an attentive listener and a thoughtful respondent during job interviews and more.

This episode is for anyone who wants to breeze through interviews.
