Über diese Folge

<p>Can bringing an iced coffee into a job interview really leave a bad impression?!</p><p>A recruiter's viral take has sparked a heated debate online, and we're weighing in!</p><p>Is it genuinely unprofessional, or have we taken interview etiquette a step too far?</p><p>🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Karen from Ireland who bought us 3 coffees!</p><p>"I listened to your podcast religiously for weeks and it really helped me hone in on the areas I needed to improve, strategise for my interview &amp; my biggest take away’s were resetting after each question, staying calm &amp; the double plugger! 3rd interview of doing interviews to just improve skills but first one after listening to your podcast I was hit with a three part question as the first question😱and my first thought was “whoa, A TRIPLE PLUGGER”…right let’s go! And I dived in applying the technique🥰 I shot my best shot over a few interviews and I got a fab new job that also happened to be a grade &amp; a half promotion. The public sector in Ireland works off a panel system and a competency based interview, all looking for STAR application so if you ever want to 'irish-ify' a session let me know and I’ll gladly help with the lingo &amp; inspo. I added an intro sentence before STAR telling them how amazing/how much experience I had in that area, then STAR, then what i called the uplift - one sentence or point - '&amp; if I got the job I would….My skill in this area is…and would make me a great fit for the role' at the end. 3-4 min answers then Zip it. I recommend yer podcast to everyone!"</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?
