234: When your industry doesn’t really “do” interviews

Про цей епізод

<p>Does your industry treat the hiring process like the Wild West? Maybe resumes are optional, cover letters are unheard of and the “interview” is really just a chat with the boss.</p><p>Just because it’s “just a chat” doesn’t mean a little preparation won’t help. Putting more thought into your resume, bringing a few stories to mind, preparing some questions or writing a genuinely personalised cover letter can help you communicate what you have to offer—without suddenly becoming stiff or overly corporate.</p><p>And when nobody else is doing those things, that small amount of effort can become a HUGE advantage. In this week’s episode, we’re talking about “interview culture” and how to match the vibe of your industry while quietly raising your own standard.</p><p>If this episode doesn’t sound like it applies to you, send it to the person in your life who insists they don’t need interview advice because their industry is “different.” We know they think they don’t need us. That’s okay. We’re still right.</p><p>🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Victoria “Emma and Sarah, you both are stars! I'm so grateful to have found Interview Boss as you've completely changed my job search mindset. I was looking for a new role after a layoff while on maternity leave (ouch!), and I was in such a negative headspace going in. I'd been casually looking for over a year in fear of a future layoff and not having success so the negativity spiral was very real. After listening (and re-listening) to your episodes over two months, I was a changed woman. I navigated 2.5 months of intense job hunting, 60+ applications, 20+ interviews, and 3 job tasks with you by my side. My husband joked that our newborn was going to have an Aussie accent after listening to so many hours of you two! I'm so happy to have landed a new role where there were all green flags during the interview process. You helped me SO much to bounce back from the jobs I didn't land (I won't call them rejections!), and I know that positivity helped me to land the right role. Thank you, and (if you read this on air), job seekers listening, keep your head up! You will persevere!”</p><p></p><p>🎥 Check out our 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?
