Career Confidential: Interviewing for Sm...

NYU Stern Professor Suzy Welch
About this episode

Much of the time, Becoming You finds itself getting, well, a little existential, because what is existential if not the question, “What should I do with my life?” But eventually, you have to take your answer to that question – or your vague idea of one – and get an actual day job with it. And thus, today’s episode of the pod is about the blocking and tackling of interviewing well. So well, in fact, that you get an offer.

Welcome to another installment in our “Career Confidential” series, in which Suzy debates, discusses, and dissects the world of work with her big-hearted, no-BS Becoming You colleague, Dustin Lui, who, even at age 27, is a veteran of the job market, with literally hundreds of interviews under his belt. In a feisty 24 minutes, Dustin and Suzy compare best interviewing practices – and worst – and lay down a primer for getting you from knowing your purpose to landing the job that helps you live it.
