About this episode

POV: You have a job interview coming up, you've spent hours prepping your 'tell me about yourself' story and best bits and now, you just need to PRACTICE.

It's officially time to summon a parent, your partner, a friend, a house mate, neighbour, or heck, even a stranger off the street (just kidding, please don't do that) to help you rehearse! All you have to do is send them a link to this episode.

Your practice buddy may have never listened to us before - but that's okay, because this episode will catch them up to speed on our key philosophies! In this week's episode, Sarah and Emma tell your practice buddy how the answers should be structured, what to give feedback on and what's not a big deal.

Your practice buddy doesn't need to know a whole lot about your job or achievements, in fact, sometimes this makes them an even better, objective helper.

Happy practicing!

🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Trish who is an Interview Academy alumni!

Hi Sarah and Em! I have never felt so prepared for a set of interviews in my life after completing Interview Academy. The course was the 'extra' lift I needed to keep going. To push myself on the examples, to push myself to think deeper, and to practice, practice, practice. I went over the job description with a fine toothcomb and connected the dots between what they were looking for, and my experience, coupled with a few examples. My examples were categorised into different topics that could work for multiple questions and I DIDN'T feel nervous because of the pre interview breathing exercises on your podcast! I soaked in all of the good information and gave it my best shot. During the interviews, I received positive phrases such as "you really hit the nail on the head there", and "that's a great example". Leaving the interviews, I know I gave it my all and I did my best. Waiting to hear back and excited and really hope its the outcome that I dream of! Thanks so much for putting together a highly effective course that really sets anyone up for success with any interview, if you are willing to put in the time, effort and practice! This course coupled with your podcast episodes has been a core part of my preparation and I want to say a huge thanks for it!”
