Especially the classic 'Tell me about yourself' question that would trip me up! I started listening to your podcast over the summer and found especially the 'best bits' and 'tell me about yourself' advice to help. I also listened to your 'listen to this before your interview' pep talk before every interview! And here I am, a couple of months later, having landed my DREAM job. I am so proud of myself and honestly thought that this was impossible. Not because of my skills, but because of my inability to clearly and confidently communicate in an interview setting. The job comes with a 59% salary increase, way better benefits and a lot of responsibility in a strategic area. Truly a dream, especially as we have just bought a house, have a baby AND my partner has been laid off. A tip for others: I used Ghat GPT and a dictation tool to practice interview questions and get super comfortable with talking about my experience out loud. Thank you for your help! Best wishes from Denmark. - Amanda."</p><p><strong>Mentioned in this episode:</strong></p><p><a href="https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/ad2765ca-2a4b-4bee-83f0-0defcc683234.mp3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Think Fast, Talk Smart episode</a></p><p><a href="https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/3bee5356-fdcb-4ef5-88d9-d698a93c2bf9.mp3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">How to deal with job interview nerves</a></p><p><a href="https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/d248ea32-2218-4b9b-a751-037935c7f7e7.mp3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen to this RIGHT before your interview </a></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?
