How to Absolutely Crush a Job Interview

Demoted Productions
About this episode

The job search these days feels more impossible than it ever has. No better reason to be ready to crush a job interview when the opportunity arises.


In this episode, Corp and Nat share some best practices on how to put your best self forward in a job interview. They also reminisce about their early interview failures, including a particularly spooky story of Ross being given a phone in the middle of a sales interview to do a surprise cold call. You’ll hear a listener-submitted advice request about how to maintain your sales leaderboard positions. Stay tuned for takes on getting a keratin treatment, non-romantic adult sleepovers, and practice pitching in an empty parking structure.
