Über diese Folge

<p>Have you ever been asked to reapply and interview for a job you're already doing?</p><p>It can feel strange, and a little unfair, to prove you can do a job you've already been successfully doing.</p><p>But while being the internal candidate gives you a major advantage, treating the interview like a done deal can be a risky mistake.</p><p>In this episode, Sarah and Emma explain how to make the most of your insider knowledge and turn your experience in the role into detailed, persuasive answers.</p><p>Because even if the panel knows you and your work, you still need to spell out exactly why you're the best person for the permanent position.</p><p>🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Sarah who bought us 5 coffees!</p><p>“Hi from England I have been listening to your podcast throughout my job search and interviews, as my fiancé has now moved over to Sydney for his job and I’ve been looking at job opportunities so I can join him. After I received my visa to work there (woohoo!) and listened to your podcasts, I have received a verbal job offer! I particularly valued your tips on presentations, which helped me prepare for my 90-day plan presentation at the second stage. I have been asked to provide details of referees ahead of a formal job offer, so I had to break the news to my manager. I feel so guilty but know it’s the right decision. He was clearly on problem solving mode to work out how my activities will be completed when I leave. My question is, how can I reframe my guilt and sadness to face him, and how can I let go of my dream job of 11 years, to look forward to this exciting new chapter? What is the best way to resign after giving him the heads up and how do I let my team know? I want to help with upcoming work but know it will be awkward, especially as I really enjoy my job and will need to pass projects onto colleagues, including to my team, over the next couple of months. Perhaps it’s an opportunity to empower my team through more responsibility? It’s been a mix of emotions, particularly with the fact that I’ll leave family, friends and my home, but I can’t wait to be in Australia later this year! Thanks again for all your support!”</p><p>🎥 Check out BRAND NEW free training - Top Interview Tips <u><a href="https://www.interviewboss.com.au/top-interview-tips" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.interviewboss.com.au/top-interview-tips</a></u></p><p>🏫 To get step by step help with your interview prep on demand check out our Interview Academy<a href="https://www.interviewboss.com.au/interview-academy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><u><a href="https://www.interviewboss.com.au/interview-academy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.interviewboss.com.au/interview-academy</a></u></p><p>☕ Did our podcast help you out?
